Tasting Notes

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 22 Feb 23
Unfussy, with character to the dark berry fruits, soft tannins, tobacco, black tea and cold ash. During En Primeur owner Olivier Bernard explained the vintage as being ‘... like a tightrope, everything had to be done so carefully’. The result is enjoyable, although once again it's best to drink soon to make the most of the fruit. Harvest October 1 to 18, optical sorting machine used for the first time.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2036

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 28 Oct 16
The 2013 Domaine de Chevalier has a refined bouquet, laid back and languorous with blackberry, briary notes, a touch of bay leaf developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, quite edgy tannin, nicely balanced and fresh with a simple but harmonious finish. It's the kind of 2013 that you'll just enjoy as a fine Claret, leaving you with a smile on your face. This constitutes a very commendable effort in such a challenging vintage, the bottom line being that it is one of the most pleasurable releases in 2013.

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Aug 23
The 2013 Domaine de Chevalier offers slightly smudged dark berry fruit entwined with black tea and clove. The palate is medium-bodied with light frame tannins, a bit dry on the mid-palate, though it redeems itself with a dash of white pepper on the slightly fleshy, savory finish. Drink this now and over the next five to six years. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year On tasting.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2030

Jancis Robinson James Lawther - 22 Sep 23
65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Harvested 2 to 15 October.Bright crimson. Youthful fruit-driven nose with dark fruit to the fore. Plenty of acidity on the palate so fresh but a touch edgy as well. Present tannins and slightly drying finish. Not sure the fruit will hold. (JL)
Drinking Date: 2020 - 2033
