Domaine de Chevalier 2009 Pessac-Leognan

The Domaine de Chevalier located in Léognan, the Capital town of the Graves Region, has a long history. It appears on the famous map of Pierre de Belleyme in 1783. In 1983 the estate was purchased by the Bernard Family, and has been run ever since by Olivier Bernard who perpetuates that spirit of balance and the constant drive for perfection which have been the hallmark of this outstanding wine. The red Domaine de Chevalier, the flagship of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, belongs to the elite of the great classified growths of Bordeaux. Black and brilliant with red glints. Ripe and intense nose of blueberry, blackberry mixed with fresh leather, pine tree resin, balsam and graphite. Menthol freshness. Really very impressive and complex. Full bodied, pulpy and silky. Very tasty and precise, concentration, tannins like velvet, nice acidity……This is really a fantastic wine! Finesse and distinction of Domaine de Chevalier’s style. Very long and extremely tasty finish. Notes from the estate
