Domaine de Chevalier 1983 - Pessac-Léognan

Domaine de Chevalier 1983 Pessac-Léognan Red

The Domaine de Chevalier is, like Talbot or Beychevelle, very consistent. For us, it is one of the best quality - pleasure / price ratios in Pessac-Léognan, not to mention the classified growths of Bordeaux. So if you don't know it, go for it!

Tasting notes R. Parker 2003:

This beautiful, fully mature 1983 displays a deep garnet color with beautiful aromas of smoky herbs, earth, licorice, dark fruits and minerals. The elegant and complex perfume is followed by equally compelling, medium-bodied, expansive and savory flavors. 92 Points

Exceptional provenance: These bottles come from a cellar of a great Swiss wine enthusiast and collector. We have acquired the complete collection containing more than 200 bottles of mainly French and Italian wines. The bottles have all been preserved following their purchase en primeur or shortly after their marketing on site, in a natural cellar buried under a 16th century convent. A damp cellar, which is why some labels are very worn. The levels are generally excellent or perfect and the most "fragile" bottles testify to conservation in total darkness for more than 30 years!
