Other Reviews...
The 2023 Domaine de Chevalier has turned out beautifully in bottle, offering aromas of sweet cherries, dark wild berries, licorice, mulberries and peony. Medium- to full-bodied, it is rich yet supple, layered and textured, framed by powdery tannins and concluding with a long, precise and perfumed finish. A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, it should gain an additional dimension of depth and complexity with time in the cellar. Drink 2029-2043.

The 2023 Domaine de Chevalier is terrific. Silky, aromatic and elegant, the 2023 is a fine effort for the year. Crushed flowers, pomegranate, blood orange, cinnamon and dark raspberry all build in the glass. The 2023 does not quite reach the level of the very best vintages, and yet it has a lot to offer. Time brings out lovely minerality, energy and persistence. I loved it. Tasted three times. Drink 2030-2063.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
The aromas of tobacco, thyme, black currant, and black berry with dark earth follow through to a medium body with creamy and polished tannins that caress your palate and deliver a beautiful young Pessac. So pretty and lively. 63% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 5% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc. Better in a few years but already so beautiful and polished.

Deep purple-hued, the 2023 Domaine De Chevalier is a rich, concentrated, classic Graves from this great estate. Smoky blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, damp earth, and graphite all shine on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, with ample mid-palate depth, building tannins, and outstanding length. This aristocratic, classy, age-worthy Domaine de Chevalier deserves 3-5 years of bottle age and will cruise over the following 30 years or more. Drink 2028-2055.

Dark bramble fruit, touches of chocolate on the nose. Smooth, with a hint of chewiness, giving a round and filling expression in the mouth but bouncy and not overpowering. The tannins also have a chalky grip, which gives more texture and nuance. Feels well constructed, acidity and fruit in balance. Clearly good quality with easy drinkability, yet it still carries a serious touch and will age well. Drink 2028-2058.
