2011 Domaine de Chevalier Rouge Pessac-Léognan

Domaine de Chevalier Rouge Pessac-Leognan
“Breath taking”. Tasting at the Château with Olivier Bernard is always one of the highlights of our week. He tells it like it is, every time. Also, the tasting is always fabulous. The estate is best known for its legendary white wine, but, for me, since the truly stunning 2005, his red is up there with some of the super seconds and I have bought at least a case every year since 2005. 2011 again is exceptional. It has a seamless balance between power and finesse. Cool and focussed with such fine tannins you hardly notice them. It’s the definition for me that makes it stand out. It doesn’t have the decadence of Pontet-Canet or the power of Lynch-Bages, but it sort of sits between the two for me, in not only structure but taste. If that’s the case, what’s not to like at approximately half the price? One of my top wines of the vintage.

Domaine de Chevalier Rouge Pessac-Leognan
A very good effort from this estate located in the southern sector of Pessac-Leognan, the 2011 Domaine de Chevalier is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot that achieved 13% natural alcohol. It offers medium body, attractive sweet red and black currant fruit, a round, supple texture, and hints of roasted herbs and damp earth. Drink this pretty, elegant effort during its first 10-15 years of life.
