Domaine DE CHEVALIER Rouge, Pessac-Leognan Cru Classe de Graves 2014

Region: France / Bordeaux / Graves / Pessac-Léognan
Wine style: Bordeaux Pessac-Léognan
The yield was 40 hectolitres per hectare this year: that doesn't represent a great yield, but it is much better than recent years, in particular 2013. I always buy this wine for my own cellar and will be doing so again. Soft and really approachable, this is a gentle wine. Shy, but pretty on the nose, it is decadent and could be enjoyed very early; but that's not to say it won't age well, all the component parts are singing in harmony: ripe, fleshy fruit, freshness, attractive acidity and silky, fine tannins. The finish is soft too. This is so silky and enjoyable, even when tasting a barrel sample.
65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot
