Omschrijving
Dit prestigieuze Domaine geniet een groot aanzien in Bordeaux. Sinds 1983, toen de familie Bernard het Domaine kocht, is er gigantisch geïnvesteerd in zowel de wijngaarden als het Domaine. Dit is ook terug te proeven in de alsmaar stijgende kwaliteit van de wijn. Het Domaine ligt in het Léognan-gedeelte van de Graves. De opbrengst is minimaal en bedraagt jaarlijks circa 100.000 flessen rode wijn en 18.000 flessen witte wijn bestemd voor de wereldmarkt. Alle druiven worden handmatig geplukt en gesorteerd zodat alleen het mooiste fruit gebruikt wordt. Recentelijk is Olivier Bernard gestart met Clos des Lunes, waarmee hij een grootse droge witte wijn maakt in Sauternes.

Robert Parker
A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Domaine de Chevalier delivers aromas of minty dark berries, cherries and ripe plums mingled with hints of licorice, coniferous forest and spices. Medium to full-bodied, it's concentrated and layered, textured and elegant, framed by powdery tannins and concluding with a long, penetrating, long finish. Olivier Bernard and his team have crafted an outstanding wine that will bear a special label commemorating his 40th vinification at this Pessac-Léognan reference point. (94-96)

Vinous
The 2022 Domaine de Chevalier was picked from 5-30 September and represents the 40th vintage under the irrepressible Olivier Bernard, who celebrates with a one-off label. It soars from the glass with take-no-prisoner aromatics: perfumed mineral-rich red berry fruit, incense and black truffle. Pessac-like earthiness with an opposing airiness defines many a great wine from this estate. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins. Slightly powdery in texture and saline in the mouth, this gets the saliva flowing. However, the arching structure on the finish suggests it will require considerable bottle age. Cellar this for a couple of decades, and you'll be repaid handsomely. (95-97)

James Suckling
Wow. This is incredibly structured and powerful with ultra-fine tannins that are tight and layered. It's full and powerful with carved muscles of tannins. This will need so much time. (98/99)

Decanter
Lovely detail and precision with plump, ripe fruit, good concentration and intensity, mouthfilling tannins that have a lovely texture and overall length. Feels really well made, structured and vibrant, not taken too far with a really appealing flavour and texture. Just lovely, fresh, lifted, still concentrated with underlying power but delivered seamlessly. A brilliant, compelling, utterly moreish wine. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. In organic conversion.
