Description

2008 Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac-Léognan, BordeauxDomaine de Chevalier always seems to know how to please. The 2008 has a fantastic, opulent nose of liquid blackcurrants and a concentrated, intense palate of dark cassis fruit but with that lovely freshness indicative of the vintage. This is a wine with plenty of flesh on its bones, but one which combines power with grace and balance. Ripe, grainy tannins and a savoury, mineral finish complete this very rewarding wine.

From the warm 2006 vintage

This carries to a full-bodied Lynch-Bages that has flawless overall balance

and why would you

A rich smoked chicory note is evident that sets Léoville Poyferré apart from the other two Bordeaux Léovilles

The '92 Richebourg is a wine that I have enjoyed on numerous occasions though this bottle sourced directly from the domaine is clearly the best one that I've had in several years

A weighty and confident dram

stewed apple and lychee before developing into antique oak

This is not just a brute

30% Chardonnay and 5% still red Pinot

Just hints of cigar box
