Elegant, ready-to-drink 95 Point Bordeaux with Grand Cru pedigree for under $30 a bottle? Yes please...Especially when it's the second wine of powerhouse Domaine de Chevalier! Second wines are fantastic opportunities for those who want to drink great Bordeaux without paying Grand Cru prices. It’s made from the youngest vines, but still reflects the typicity of the Pessac-Leognan appellation. 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-Leognan. Always loaded with ripe fruit and texture, while displaying a remarkable freshness and purity, you won't be able to keep your hands off it!
"Impressive depth of fruit and polished tannins to this second wine of Domaine de Chevalier. Full and intense with beautiful texture and an attractive finish. The lead pencil and blackcurrant aromas are very impressive. Very velvety with fine texture. Lots of pretty fruit. Typical for the appellation." James Suckling, 95 Points
