"96 points. The 2014 Domaine de Chevalier is a total knockout" - Antonio Galloni
"94-95 points. Has gained depth... A must for friends of elegant Bordeaux." - Vinum
Domaine de Chevalier er i flyvende form. Da familien Bernard overtog slottet i 1983, forblev den gamle ejer Claude Ricard på slottet i 5 år som mentor for 23 år gamle Olivier Bernard. Sidstnævnte har siden løftet Chevalier helt op i verdenseliten, både når det gælder rød- og hvidvin.
Terroiret består af én tætplantet grusparcel i ly af omkringliggende skov. Her modner druerne optimalt, hvilket dog ingenlunde forhindrer Olivier Bernard i at finsortere over flere høstrunder - som var han producent af top Sauternes. Dyrkningen er i stor udtrækning biodynamisk, og det topmoderne vineri har allerede været fornyet ad flere omgange.
På Chevalier er selv ikke det bedste godt nok! Af samme grund har Olivier Bernard taget den i Bordeaux ret kontroversielle beslutning: at skifte traditionel korkprop ud med den nye, teknologiske DIAM-korkprop.
Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse.
Anmeldelser af Domaine de Chevalier Rouge Pessac-Léognan 2014
96/100 Vinous - Antonio Galloni
"The 2014 Domaine de Chevalier is a total knockout. Precise, brilliant and finely sculpted, the 2014 possesses superb intensity. Freshly cut flowers, mint and sweet red berries, along with finessed but persistent tannins, give the wine its regal personality. The 2014 needs a number of years to shed some baby fat and develop the full breadth of its aromatics, but it is a fabulous wine by any measure. The 2014 is 65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 % Merlot and 5 % Petit Verdot that spent approximately 35 days on the skins. Olivier Bernard noted that the Merlots were brought in between October 10 and 17, which is quite late by the domaine's standards. Tasted two times."

"Has gained depth through aging without sacrificing its delicately juicy nature. A must for friends of elegant Bordeaux."
94/100 James Suckling
"Anyone who says that the 2014s aren’t elegant needs to taste this beautifully balanced wine. Ripe redcurrant and delicate herbal aromas with just a hint of spicy oak on the nose precede a fresh, medium-bodied palate with underplayed power and a lot of subtle nuances on the long finish."
94/100 Jeb Dunnuck
"A blend of 65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 % Merlot and 5 % Petit Verdot, harvest quite late, the 2014 Domaine de Chevalier is more refined and understated than the 2015 yet still offers more opulence, texture, and mid-palate depth than most in the vintage. Revealing a deep ruby, opaque color and a gorgeous array of blackberries, black cherries, smoked earth, forest floor, and tobacco leaf, this beauty offers full-bodied richness, a layered, silky texture, perfect balance and a great finish. It has the class and balance to offer incredible pleasure today, yet will keep for another two decades."
94/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Elegance and purity is the best way to describe this young, fresh, vibrant, smoke filled wine. The refined, finish, lingers and feels great, with all its juicy, sweet, pure, black cherries"

"The 2014 Domaine de Chevalier has a wonderful bouquet with pure blackberry, raspberry coulis and iodine-tinged aromas that seem to envelop the senses. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, superb acidity and a sense of symmetry that is uncommon in the 2014 vintage. This is a sophisticated, precise wine from Olivier Bernard that could be one of top wines of the vintage. There is an approachability to this Domaine de Chevalier, which you do not always find"
93/100 Wine Enthusiast
"There is an initial sense of bitter extraction in this wine, with dark coffee flavors. It is tough and the fruit is hard to discern. Acidity at the end could bring balance."

93/100 Vinous - Neal Martin
"The 2014 Domaine de Chevalier has a classy, quite sophisticated bouquet with blackberry, boysenberry, graphite and brine aromas that feel very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, quite saline in the mouth with a brisk, lightly spiced, white pepper sprinkled finish that lingers long in the mouth. Olivier Bernard has crafted quite a sublime 2014 Pessac-Léognan. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting."
93/100 Vert de Vin Magazin
"The nose is fine. It reveals notes of black berries, grilled notes and slight woody notes. The palate is fruity, gourmande, well-balanced and relatively suave. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis and fresh black cherry associated with a discreet touch of Zan as well as a hint of tobacco and a few fine / discreet oaky notes. Tannins are fine. Good length and persistence with fruity notes, a touch of Zan and a discreet note of Ceylon tea."
