Den Domaine de Chevalier 2020 rouge Pessac Leognan beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
The 2020 Domaine de Chevalier is a touch more tightly wound than the brilliant 2019 out of the gates, but it seems likely to equal that vintage with a bit of time. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of minty blackberries and cassis mingled with notions of burning embers, spices, rose petals and orange rind, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated, with a deep core of fruit, powdery structuring tannins and a long, saline finish. As I wrote last year, this estate in recent vintages has arrived at a sort of stylistic contemporary classicism that evokes the great wines of yesteryear from this address, and the 2020 continues that trend.
Den Domaine de Chevalier 2020 rouge Pessac Leognan beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
Lots of blackcurrant, black cherry, lead pencil, ink, bark and black truffle on the nose. Full-bodied and very fine textured with silky tannins that are so layered and gorgeous. Fantastic length and depth. Clarity and transparency. 55% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot, 5% petit verdot, and 5% cabernet franc. Best after 2029.
Den Domaine de Chevalier 2020 rouge Pessac Leognan beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
The Grand Vin 2020 Domaine De Chevalier ratchets everything up another notch and will be one of the legendary wines from this address. Notes of pure cassis, graphite, lead pencil, and scorched earth define its incredible aromatics, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. This is pure, classic, regal Pessac-Léognan is as good as anything in the vintage. Give bottles 4-6 years and it will evolve for 50, 60, 70+ years. I absolutely love this wine. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc.
Den Domaine de Chevalier 2020 rouge Pessac Leognan beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dunkler Kern, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Pflaumen, schwarze Kirschen, süße Gewürznuancen, etwas Vanille. Saftig, Herzkirschen, feine Fruchtsüße, reife runde Tannine, mineralisch, zeigt gut Länge, wird von weiterer Flaschenreife profitieren.
James Molsworth beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
Well-built, pulling ample and weighty waves of cassis, plum reduction and blackberry preserves along, atop a broad spine of warm loam, smoldering tobacco and singed alder. Long and deep through the fine-grained finish, with a warm paving stone note that won't quit, thanks to well-buried acidity—not an easy feat in this vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2028 through 2038. –JM
The La Comte de Malartic-Lagravière Blanc is bright and finely cut, with terrific aromatic presence and tons of energy. Lime, white flowers, mint and crushed rocks confer energy. Bright saline notes punctuate the finish. This is a terrific second wine that balances texture with vibrancy. Tasted two times.
