Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac-Leognan, Rouge 1982 Bordeaux Rouge Like the Cuvee Chaupin

Like the Cuvee Chaupin

Exuberant aromas of Gravenstein apple

Mostly zin with some Carignane and petite sirah

blends incredible intensity and depth with a weightless elegance and seamlessness that’s hard to believe

On the palate the wine is medium-full

Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac-Leognan, Rouge 1982 Bordeaux Rouge Like the Cuvee Chaupinvery top shoulder or better 17. 5 points Jancis Robinson MW Healthy, bright crimson. Very fresh and beguiling. Absolutely fresh scrubbed; no make up. Lovely delicacy. Complete nose. All bases covered. Is this the 1978? Not an attention grabber but absolutely perfect Dom de Chev. Quite long. This wine perfectly expresses the place. Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson. com, Feb 2006
