Domaine de Chevalier 2022

Le Domaine de Chevalier (rouge) offre un profil racé et suave, aux tanins finement extraits. Un tri sévère est opéré au chais: seule la moitié des lots vinifiés est choisie pour entrer dans le grand vin. L'élevage dure 12 à 24 mois et voit l'usage d'une moitié de barriques neuves. Le Domaine de Chevalier a fait de nets progrès ces dix dernières années et appartient désormais à l'élite des vins de Pessac-Léognan.

Notes de dégustation

Wineadvocate

Commemorating his 40th harvest at the helm of the estate, Olivier Bernard has crafted a wine of abundant promise. Evoking aromas of dark wild berries, spices, smoke and licorice, framed by a deft touch of new oak, the 2022 Domaine de Chevalier possesses a medium to full-bodied, concentrated and rich palate, with an elegant, fleshy core of fruit, abundant powdery tannins and a long, delicate and dark berry-inflected finish. Noticeably less toasty and spicy than in the previous year, this estate has positively evolved in style. Matured for 18 months in a combination of new (35%) and used barrels, the 2022 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc.- YC 03/2025

Tasted on multiple occasions, the 2022 Domaine De Chevalier is beautiful, with a 2009-like style in its spicy red and black fruits, tobacco, new leather, and graphite-driven aromas and flavors. These carry to a medium to full-bodied Chevalier that has a supple, layered mouthfeel, beautifully polished tannins, and just about flawless balance. It's not massive or over the top in any way and excels on its balance and complexity. Based on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, drink this seamless, sexy, already approachable 2022 over the coming 30-40 years.- 02/2025
