"Fine cocoa powder, cedar, minerals, currants and blue fruit. Juicy and medium- to full-bodied with fresh, firm tannins and a long, crunchy finish. It lingers well. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot and 5% petit verdot." |

"Fine cocoa powder, cedar, minerals, currants and blue fruit. Juicy and medium- to full-bodied with fresh, firm tannins and a long, crunchy finish. It lingers well. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot and 5% petit verdot." 95-96, Zekun Shuai, James Suckling, Apr 2025
“Dark ruby, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose, fresh red fruits of the forest confit, hints of sweet cherries, currants and spices, subtle tobacco nuances. Medium-bodied, notes of red cherries, freshly structured and balanced, with a hint of nougat on the mineral finish. Will benefit from bottle ageing.” 92-94, Peter Moser, Falstaff, Apr 2025
“The 2024 Domaine de Chevalier was cropped at 48 hl/ha between September 20 and October 8. This is almost Burgundian in style, with a fragrant bouquet revealing pure blueberry and blackcurrant aromas alongside crushed violet and iris flower scents emerging with aeration. It is very comely and alluring. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. It's very harmonious and already in this prenatal stage, seductive. With finely chiseled tannins and more mineralité compared to the L'Esprit, this seems to glide on the finish. Just a lovely Pessac-Léognan for the vintage, though this year it must accept the silver medal as Olivier Bernard's white takes the gold.” 91-93, Neal Martin, Apr 2025
