an impression enhanced by a fabulous nose of sherbet

Cola-like notes complicate aromas of black cherry

The natural ripeness of the year amps up the Chardonnay flavors

drink this beauty anytime over the coming 12-15 years

intense and mineral-inflected broad-shouldered flavors are an exercise in restraint

Domaine Chevalier other_regions an impression enhanced by aThe 2015 Domaine de Chevalier has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with rose petals and cedar infusing the red berry fruit, nicely detailed with blacker fruit uncovered by aeration. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannins, sweet and rounded, very plush in style with a caressing, femme fatale of a finish. I have actually encountered better bottles than this, though it remains a class act. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
