Domaine de Chevalier

Pessac-Léognan Rouge 2012

Originating from the southern Bordeaux region of Pessac-Léognan, Domaine de Chevalier is known for reds that are deep in colour, a nose that is restrained at first, but full of complexity and a palate that has power and length of flavour. Some are of the beleif that their wines are verging on the reputation of Haut-Brion and La Mission ... and with wines like this amazing 2009 it isn't hard to see why. Classic Pessac characters of red currants, cedar and asiatic spices are all in evidence in a wine that isn't the boldest of the vintage, but more classical and restrained. Pure Bordeaux.
