Domaine de Chevalier is an illustrious Grand Cru Classé estate situated in Pessac-Léognan and is highly regarded for their superbly balanced and long-lived red wines. The 2008 is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot boasting a cassis profile with floral and charcoal nuances.
- The 2008 Domaine de Chevalier is a vintage that I have tasted several times. Now at a decade old, it has retained a surprisingly deep colour. The bouquet is divine: pure blackberry and pomegranate aromas, cedar and cigar box, its floral element seeming to have receded in recent years. The palate is medium-bodied and appears to have softened since I last tasted it, the tannins now more melted (though not fully), delivering a mixture of red and black fruit tinged with burnt toast, tobacco and a touch of sous-bois and smoke towards the cohesive finish. You could begin opening bottles now although knowing the track record of this estate, I would leave them for another few years. (Tasted at the château and at BI Wine & Spirit’s annual vertical tasting.)
