Domaine de Chevalier 1983 - Pessac-Léognan

Domaine de Chevalier 1983 Pessac-Léognan

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

Tasting notes from R. Parker in 2003:

This beautiful, fully mature 1983 exhibits a dark garnet color in addition to beautiful aromas of smoky herbs, earth, licorice, dark fruits and minerals. The elegant and complex scent 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 enthusiast and collector. We have acquired the complete collection containing more than 200 bottles of mainly French and Italian wines. The bottles were all 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 demonstrate storage in total darkness for more than 30 years!
