Reviews

James Suckling 94

Just coming around now, the 2006 shows beautiful meat, forest floor, tobacco and berry character. It's medium to full-bodied. Savory finish.

Wine Spectator 91

There's attractive blackberry and light vanilla, with a hint of licorice. Full-bodied, with a caressing texture, very pretty fruit and notes of chocolate and licorice.

Wine Advocate 90

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London.The 2006 Domaine de Chevalier has smudged red plum, bergamot and stewed black tea scents on the nose - quite fragrant if just missing some delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with taut, quite firm tannin. Dark and broody, this is a surprisingly introspective Domaine de Chevalier with a grippy, quite assertive finish. This is a satisfying wine from Olivier Bernard, though at the moment you get the feeling that somebody has said something to this 2006 that has put it into a bad mood. I find there is more finesse on other recent vintage,s but you never know with Domaine de Chevalier because at any given moment it can blossom.

Technical Details

Vintage

We had to wait until the first blending tastings in February to really be able to assess 2006, a vintage that was influenced by such variable weather conditions. It was a great year characterised by a most unusual alternation of strong heat (in July and September) and cool temperatures (in August); it was also affected by a stormy spell in mid-September, which was quite violent in some areas and caused winegrowers to dread the onset of rot. Crops were gathered hastily.
