Domaine de Chevalier is a classified growth in Pessac-Léognan, known for refined, age-worthy reds. The 2000 blends Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from gravel and clay soils, fermented in tank and aged 18–20 months in mostly used oak.

Now over two decades old, it shows mature notes of plum, cedar, and tobacco with firm structure and freshness. A classic Left Bank claret still in its prime.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2000 Domaine de Chevalier is deep in color. It has a precocious bouquet of black cherries, blueberry, red currant and violets, very well defined and focused; there is real panache here. The palate is medium-bodied, stocky and quite foursquare at the moment, with dry-ish tannins – what you might call a “masculine” wine. Quite briny and marine-influenced, this exerts a firm grip and certainly would benefit from either decanting or further bottle age." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 93
"The 2000 Domaine de Chevalier has long been one of my favourite wines and now at 16 years of age, it continues to live up to expectations. It has a beautiful nose, so lively and vivacious, with black plum and blackberry, cedar and damp undergrowth scents, an undercurrent of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive definition, a fine thread of acidity, though still backward and intimating that there is "much more in the tank." The structure is wonderful here, though it does not quite deliver the length you might expect, which compelled me to dock a couple of points. The bottom line: it's a great Pessac-Léognan with a 30-40 year lifespan." -Neal Martin

"Very aromatic. Very lifted. Savoury and appetising although relatively light bodied. Lovely fragrance – much fresher than the 2003, also tasted recently. Clear and pure, but it needs careful food matching."

Decanter

"Tar and clove on the nose here, teasing out to leather notes after a few minutes. Cassis bud fruit character, this remans slightly foursquare and austere even as it approaches its 18th birthday. Some truffle and undergrowth as it opens in the glass, the tannins still have grip but a little less generosity than I might expect for a 2000 vintage. Clearly still plenty of life ahead of it, easily a decade before you need to worry about where this wine is going."

"Huge, deep purple-black color, and aromas of rich, spicy fruit give a sense of great power to this superbly intense wine. Liquorice and rich tannins suggest complexity, while subtle acidity adds refinement."
