2025, Domaine de Chevalier Rouge, PESSAC-LÉOGNAN, Grand Cru Classé des Graves65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot 5% Petit Verdot. This much respected property in Pessac Lognan is run with great care by Olivier Bernard whose family took it over from Claude Ricard in 1983. The 2025 Domaine de Chevalier is a total stunner. The oak imprint is a bit strong, but the 2025 possesses notable richness and textural depth to handle it all. Signature red toned fruit and floral overtones soar through the layered, expansive close. 2035 2075
