One of the greatest wine ever made at Domaine de Chevalier, we're super excited to release this limited amount of the 2020 vintage, just in time for the holidays to our best Bordeaux customers. Grand Cru Classé in the famed Pessac-Léognan region of Bordeaux, many refer to Domaine de Chevalier as a secret garden. Presently run by Olivier Bernard and his two sons, Domaine de Chevalier is distinguished by its aromatic complexity. The ultra-fragrant bouquet combines the fruity character of Cabernet Sauvignon and the smokiness from the gravel, which is typical of Pessac-Léognan. Voted the #4 Top French Wine of the Year from James Suckling, the best wines of the 2020 vintage, like Domaine de Chevalier, are some of the ripest ever, loaded with fruit and texture, while displaying a remarkable freshness and purity. Only 10 cases available. Don't miss it!
"The Grand Vin 2020 Domaine De Chevalier ratchets everything up another notch and will be one of the legendary wines from this address. Notes of pure cassis, graphite, lead pencil, and scorched earth define its incredible aromatics, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. This is pure, classic, regal Pessac-Léognan is as good as anything in the vintage. Give bottles 4-6 years and it will evolve for 50, 60, 70+ years. I absolutely love this wine. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc." Jeb Dunnuck, 98+ Points
"The intensity and perfumes on the nose are extremely impressive, offering pure blackberries and violets, as well as bark, wild-mushroom and raw-tile notes. It’s full-bodied with creamy tannins that envelop the wine and a gorgeous, subtly complex center palate with all the flavors found on the nose. Endless finish. Love the finesse and length to this. Greatest ever. Try after 2026." James Suckling, 99 Points
