Domaine de Chevalier 2000 1.5L Magnum

Domaine de Chevalier is one of Pessac-Léognan's benchmark estates, producing a refined Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, graphite, and tobacco. The palate is elegant and structured with polished tannins, vibrant freshness, and exceptional aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with grilled lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, venison, mushroom dishes, or aged hard cheeses such as Comté and Gouda.

96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

I continue to love the 2000 Domaine De Chevalier, an ultra-classic, structured, classy effort from this incredible terroir outside of Léognan. Currants, leafy tobacco, truffle earth, and spice, with some floral nuances on the nose are followed by a balanced, medium- to full-bodied red with a broad, layered mouthfeel, fine tannins, and remarkable length. Everything about this wine is just brilliant.

Huge, deep purple-black color, and aromas of rich, spicy fruit give a sense of great power to this superbly intense wine. Liquorice and rich tannins suggest complexity, while subtle acidity adds refinement.

93 Points - James Suckling

This offers a complex nose of sweet tobacco and stones, with red fruits such as plums, as well as a smoky note on the nose. Full and juicy, with a tobacco and berry character that turns almost tea-like on the finish. This has medium tannins, and is just starting to come around. Drink now or hold.
