2009 vintage. A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot. This estate has an impressive track record of high quality, even before it was bought by the Bernard family. Olivier Bernard managed to considerably expand the vineyards without compromising the quality of the wine, which is one my favourites. Unfortunately they use 100% Diam corks these days, which sadly stopped me from buying the wines. Anyway, this deeply coloured 2009 is a beauty that starts to shine with only 5 minutes in the glass. Impressive aromatics of black fruit, cedar wood, dark chocolate, vanilla, subtle spices and delicate floral hints. In the mouth it is extremely elegant and effortless, with everything in the right place. Exquisite balance with layered, perfectly ripe ( but not jammy) black fruit, embedded in a solid ripe tannic structure, and a very, very long finish. Everything falls into place, nothing is overdone, absolutely impressive, even if I believe it hasn't even reached its peak yet. This should age effortlessly for decades. Ab. 13,5%. — 7 months ago

Je suis un fan de muscadet. Pas de ces versions acides et étriquées à vous détartrer ce qu’il vous reste d’émail aux dents, non. Plutôt de ces envolées fluides, légères, agiles et admirablement tracées livrées par un melon de bourgogne traité aux petits oignons. À celui-ci s’ajoutent texture saline et densité qui allonge la finale. Top ! — 4 years ago

Shades of dull purple, a bit cloudy, and a bit copper tone on the rim. Nose of nice ripe black cherry, strawberry, aldehyde, vanilla, spice, smooth in the nasal cavity, and hint of oak note. Nose is good and mature. Taste follows the nose with addition of mature tannins, slightly sweet, and tasty. Aftertaste is medium and mellow. Peak time now. Enjoy her now. — 5 years ago

Pale in color; slightly waxy, lime rind, white flower. Excellent vibrant acid balance with a layered texture and full body. A delicate almond note on long finish suggests drink up but this was in great shape overall. Dancer has a wonderful touch with CH.

Decent Bordeaux, I’d probably buy again, but would age it. Paired nicely with T-bone steaks and okay with dark chocolate. Strawberries, coffee and soil or wood are our taste and smelling notes. — 3 years ago

Second label (Domaine de Chevalier) Graves Red Blend. (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Petite Verdot). Deep purple color. Dark berry aromas and flavors. Hints of cedar, licorice, minerals and baking spices. Round and silky. Long finish. Well structured. Great value. — 4 years ago

Last day of CNY at Arthur’s house. Smoky, flinty nose. Smokiness hits hard on palate. Ripe lemons. Balanced and elegant. — 2 years ago

Elegant nose of beeswax, acacia flowers, pear, almond, mineral notes, lemon rind. Lacks concentration in the mid palate. Persistent thru the finish with the lifted style. — 3 years ago

Drank 4/1/19. Decent pairing with Cacio e Pepe, but would have probably preferred a Chianti.

This is the unoaked version. Lemon, minerality, and a touch of earthy funk on the nose. Very clean and balanced with flavors of lemon, citrus peel, some orange zest, and a touch of salinity. Medium to long finish with bright acidity. Overall, I prefer the Lunes d'argent for a couple of bucks more, as it seems to be richer and a bit more interesting than the unoaked Blanche.
