Parker - Wine Advocate Lisa Perrotti-Brown (94+ Punkte)
The 2016 Domaine de Chevalier is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it rocks up with expressive warm plums, blueberry compote and cassis scents with suggestions of sandalwood, baking spices and potpourri. Medium-bodied and delicately styled yet with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins, it sports restrained earth-laced fruit and a long finish.
Wine Spectator (93-96 Punkte)
Intense raspberry and boysenberry fruit drives along, flecked with anise hints and scored with roasted apple wood details. A touch toothy on the finish, with a loamy note, but the fruit takes an encore, which is a great sign for the future
René Gabriel/Andre Kunz (19 Punkte)
Dichtes, tiefes, frisches, komplexes Bouquet, schwarze Kirschen, Cassis, Zimtstange, Tabak, fein Mocca, Dörrzwetschgen. Ausgewogener, dichtverwobener, duftiger, eleganter Gaumen mit viel gutem Tannin, kräftiger, süsser Frucht, dichter Aromatik, eleganter Struktur, sehr langer, aromatischer Abgang.
Vinous Antonio Galloni (93-96 Punkte)
The 2016 Domaine de Chevalier is a wine of total precision and class. Today, the flavors are remarkably primary, while the tannins, unusually, are totally buried by the fruit. It will be many years before the 2016 is ready to show all of its cards, but it is a brilliant wine in the making. Dark red cherry, blood orange, mint, white pepper and rose petal infuse the strikingly delineated, vibrant finish.
