Domaine Chevalier other_regions they used less new oak

they used less new oak barrels

crushed chalk and then a silky citric grip

but for drinking over the next two decades

the other 10% is Cabernet Franc

the wine has moderate weight and sweet fruit in the nose and on the attack

Domaine Chevalier other_regions they used less new oakThe 2015 Domaine de Chevalier has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with rose petals and cedar infusing the red berry fruit, nicely detailed with blacker fruit uncovered by aeration. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannins, sweet and rounded, very plush in style with a caressing, femme fatale of a finish. I have actually encountered better bottles than this, though it remains a class act. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
