2010 Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac-Leognan Cru Classe, Rouge

Domaine de Chevalier is an elite estate in Léognan, located within the Pessac-Léognan appellation and managed by the Bernard family since their acquisition of the property in 1983. This wine is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grown in a vineyard defined by fine gravel and black sand resting on a deep clay-gravel subsoil. In the glass, it reveals classic notes of cassis, truffle, and tobacco, offering a structured, concentrated texture with a long, balanced finish. The 2010 vintage provided the ideal cool spring and warm summer weather necessary to produce this level of density and aromatic precision. This bottle is built for the cellar and serves as a refined example of its terroir that will continue to evolve gracefully for years to come.
