2007 Domaine de Chevalier Rouge, Pessac-Léognan

Domaine de Chevalier Rouge, Pessac-Leognan

Ripe fruit and hints of tobacco hit the nose before you discover the palate has well-balanced acidity and silky tannins. There is a good concentration a blackberries and earthiness with a slight hint of liquorice. As with the estate's white, the finish goes on and on. This is one for the traditional Bordeaux lover.
(Ben Upjohn - BBR Fine Wine)

Domaine De Chevalier

No wonder Olivier Bernard was beaming. His 2007 is the latest in a line of stunning vintages which, apart from the amazing 2005, is his best wine since 2000. A brooding, spicy, damson nose leads on to a dense palate with blackberry, crushed cassis, tobacco and leather with a long, pure finish. The balanced, mouth-filling fruit is cloaked in velvety but significant tannins (higher than 2005) bestowing the wine with a fine, masculine, early-drinking style. Fantastic in the context of any vintage, and not far off the quality of Haut-Brion, this is an essential buy for any Claret-lover.

One of the vintage's top successes, this blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot exhibits a juicy, black currant, forest floor, and soil-scented nose. Layered with brilliant precision, purity, and density, it is a medium to full-bodied, elegant, intensely flavored, soft, upfront blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It should drink well for 10-15 years.
