2006 Domaine de Chevalier Rouge, Grand Cru Classé, Pessac-Léognan

Domaine de Chevalier is a property on form, and one that remains under the radar; it offers exceptional value for money. This beautifully pure 2006 has the charm and fresh acidity that the best 2006s show, underpinned with a firm and unforced tannic structure. This is very well made indeed.

Owner Olivier Bernard's attitude to nature and wine, working the soil naturallyand respecting the terroir and the style of the vintage, makes him a Burgundianat heart according to Jasper Morris MW, which is praise indeed. 2006 was aCabernet vintage in Pessac, according to Olivier, and the extra Cabernet in hisblend (67% CS and 4% CF) has made his 2006 more structured than usual. It hasan exotic, creamy blackberry nose, a wonderful harmony and structure, and alovely concentration of pure, minerally cassis fruit with coffee hints. This isanother tour de force of outstanding quality.
