The 2015 Domaine de Chevalier is another extraordinary showing from this property in Pessac-Léognan. It is made from a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. It opens to stunning aromatics of ripe blackberries and dark cherries which come together with graphite, sweet spices and hints of florals, all underlined by wet stone nuances. On the palate this demonstrates remarkable overall depth and concentration with a gorgeous layered texture and wonderful balance. Everything comes to an end beautifully, with dark fruits and minerals lingering effortlessly on the long, precise finish. A simply striking wine which will have a tremendous future ahead.
