Peter Maude Fine Wines
2019, Domaine de Chevalier Rouge, PESSAC-LÉOGNAN, Grand Cru Classé des Graves
$174
The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier has a precise and complex bouquet with blackberry, cedar and tobacco scents, quite Médoc-like in style. This is thoroughly engaging. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, exquisitely integrated oak, fleshy and fine-boned with a precise finish. This is outstanding. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. 97 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023).
