Drank 7/25/18. Paired with grilled lamb chops and a red wine reduction.
The 2nd wine of Domaine de Chevalier, one of my favorite producers from Pessac-Leognan. Like many of the other wines in the 2012 vintage, it seems to have a bit of a leg up on similar quality wines from the Medoc
Nose of sweet black and purple fruits with wet rock and a little soil. Dark fruits and plums mingle with black cherry and a touch of spice on the palate, that is very well balanced, yet perhaps lacking some of the fruit concentration of the grand vin. Finishes with dark fruits and drying, yet well integrated tannins. A very well made wine that has a silky mouthfeel beckoning you to drink another glass.

Commence à bien se goûter, sur les fruits rouges un peu cuits, les épices. On sent bien le mourvedre. Très digeste, aucune lourdeur solaire,. Gros potentiel. — 8 years ago

Gros plaisir avec ce super gamay nature. Pas besoin de réfléchir ni de se torturer l'esprit on profite du fruit. Confirmation du coup de cœur sur le salon. — 8 years ago
Very big nose and medium body, I thought this 2006 was very good, the cork crumbled when i was trying to get it out, still a good bottle — 9 years ago
Fresh and youthful, the sensation is that to grasp a handful of freshly picked raspberries in the forest. Very clean, focused, with a good nerve. — 6 years ago

Extremely hearty and fruit toned Rose. Medium to full bodied wine that I did not expect. Very different! Enjoy this immensely. — 10 years ago
