CRITIC REVIEWS
James Lawther MW
Crimson with a light rim. Open, fruit-driven nose. Juicy and poised. Clean and digeste. Fine tannins. Seems to have everything but not quite at the top table. (JL)

The 2015 Domaine de Chevalier is composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. It went through malolactic and aging on its lees during three months in 35% new, 35% one-year-old and 30% two-year-old barrels, with a total aging of 18 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it has lovely spiciness on the nose—Chinese five spice and black pepper—with a core of red and black cherries and smoked meats. Medium-bodied, finely crafted and refreshing, its quite minerally in the mouth and persistent on the finish.
