This red wine is first manifested by a beautiful dark red color, slightly tiled on the disc.
The first aromatics evolutions gave more complexity to the Chevalier’s wines. Mark of ripe fruit and smoke spices in a cool and liquorice atmosphere.
On the palate the wine is immediate. The well present tannins are fudge, fruity and very tasty. The flesh of the wine is delicate.
A good acidity energizes this mild, long and elegant wine.
Despite his young age, we recommend drinking this wine that engages completely. A short decanting unveils it more.

Dom de Chevalier rouge 2002 (J. Robinson) : 17 (VGV)
This price does seem ridiculous for a landmark property. Not concentrated ruby. Light admittedly but very delicate and refreshing and could only be made in Bordeaux, Utterly swallowable. So lively – though be warned, it is light and flirtatious but very appetising. VGV (Very Good Value)
