Domaine de Chevalier – Pessac Leognan Rouge – Red – 2018 – 6000 ml:

 

Domaine de Chevalier: Pessac-Léognan’s Jewel

As a classified Grand Cru Classé de Graves, Domaine de Chevalier is celebrated across the UK for its consistent quality and sublime elegance. Nestled amidst a protective forest, the vineyard’s unique cool microclimate ensures a vibrant freshness that perfectly complements the concentration of its fruit. The red Grand Vin is a sophisticated Bordeaux blend, showcasing the meticulous viticulture and winemaking prowess of the Bernard family, securing its status as a benchmark for the appellation.

Tasting Notes (Red Profile)

• Color: Deep ruby-garnet, indicative of concentration.
• Aroma: A distinguished bouquet of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and plum, seamlessly interwoven with savoury notes of lead pencil, forest floor, and fine French oak spice.
• Taste: Full-bodied and beautifully structured, with polished, firm tannins providing a backbone for exceptional ageing potential. The mid-palate is rich and layered, leading to a remarkably long and refined finish. A true cellar essential.

Food Match & Serving

An ideal partner for a traditional Sunday roast. Serve slightly below room temperature (17-18°C) and consider decanting young vintages to allow the complex aromas to fully blossom.
