Domaine de Chevalier 2005

Domaine de Chevalier 2005

Dark ruby color with garnet tint.
On the nose, blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, notes of tobacco, graphite, and subtle charcoal.
On the palate, Full-bodied, with super silky tannins continued long-long and multi-dimensional finish.

I'm a huge fan of this domaine, visiting 7 times before.
2005 rouge is unforgettable for me
because I had a chance to taste 2005 rouge on my first visit.

Domaine de Chevalier is a sort of secret garden, located in the middle of a forest that protects the vines from extremes of temperature.

One of the flagship of "Pessac-Léognan" appellation.
