Domaine de Chevalier Pessac-Leognan 2023

$105.99
A complex and spicy nose of great finesse. The blend’s expression is both pure and vibrant, showcasing a maturity that blossoms in freshness. Notes of humus and forest envelop the fruitiness. On the palate, immediate and silky fullness. Aconcentrated structure, elegant, of great refinement. Flavorful and intense radiance, from fruit to mineral. This wine, with its racy demeanor, is of high class. Very long, precise, pure, and fresh. Impeccable balance. A silky and charming style that will be appreciated in its youth (7-10 years), but aging will make it shine (12-20 years). Blend: 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc

The 2023 Domaine de Chevalier has turned out beautifully in bottle, offering aromas of sweet cherries, dark wild berries, licorice, mulberries and peony. Medium- to full-bodied, it is rich yet supple, layered and textured, framed by powdery tannins and concluding with a long, precise and perfumed finish. A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, it should gain an additional dimension of depth and complexity with time in the cellar.
