Mørk rubinrød med sorte refleksioner. Som så ofte en burgundisk, moden, jordbær-accentueret næse. Derefter fin, blid cassis, ribs og røde kirsebær, der udstråler stor harmoni. Cremet, lækker blød og meget charmerende frugtnæse. Det burgundiske præg fortsætter i munden, igen denne store harmoni, blid og fuld af harmoni, fine røde kirsebær med søde ribs og frisk blomme, skovjordbær og skovhindbær, også tranebær. En drømmeagtig vin, der er helt tro mod sin egen stil, simpelthen en tand bedre end normalt. En sjov skaber på et meget højt niveau. 97/100

I Bordeaux betragtes 2009 som en absolut triumf for moden fylde. En perfekt drømmesommer gav Cabernet-druerne rekordhøje sukkerindhold og en fænomenal tæthed. På trods af den enorme koncentration imponerer vinene med en overjordisk smidighed, silkeagtige tanniner og en umiddelbar, charmerende tilgængelighed.

Til årsrapporten

Suckling om: Domaine de Chevalier rouge

This is very tight and rich with dried apple, mango and papaya, yet it's bright and floral. Full body, dense fruit and a long, powerful finish. Really open already but complex and beautiful with a richness and intensity that is very, very impressive. 98/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Domaine de Chevalier rouge

Drinking nicely, with some maturity yet still youthful, the 2009 Domaine De Chevalier offers gorgeous red and black currant fruits, smoked tobacco, damp earth, and cedary spice. Full-bodied, opulent, and undeniably sexy on the palate, with a great mid-palate and sweet tannins. Displaying good balance as well as ripe tannins, its dense, opulent profile is going to continue to evolve for another 30 years or more. Don't be afraid to open bottles, though – it's sensational today. The blend of the 2009 is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot.96/100

Decanter om: Domaine de Chevalier rouge

Remains deep damson in colour even at nearly 10 years old, and on the attack you find full and true blackberry cassis and bilberry notes, we are really building up layers and complexity on the nose. Gorgeous wine, just beautiful balance and juiciness, and a silken texture to the fruit, tannins that support without ever being intrusive, no question this can age. Tannins are deceptive because they build over the palate. Tobacco and walnut on the finish, I look forward to watching this develop further over the next few years. 96/100

Parker om: Domaine de Chevalier rouge

In late 2011, I had the last bottle in my cellar of the 1970 Domaine de Chevalier. Much to my surprise, it was still holding on to life and remained gorgeously complex in that ethereal Graves style. The 2009, one of the finest Domaine de Chevaliers yet produced, reveals a striking bouquet of burning embers, sweet cherry, black and red currant fruit, spice box, cedar and lead pencil shavings. The tannins are sweet in this fleshy, full-bodied offering. It is built on the notion of extraordinary harmony, elegance and complexity. While not the most concentrated or flamboyant 2009, its intense aromas are already reasonably evolved and its lusciousness and balance are terrific. Made from an interesting blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot, its yields of 45 hectoliters per hectare were slightly higher than many of its neighbors achieved. Drink it over the next 25 years. 95/100
