Mr. Derenoncourt's arrival as a consultant in 2006 has given the Domaine de Chevalier an extra touch of charm and softness, while preserving its distinguished finesse. Its success has been dazzling in recent vintages, gradually raising it to the pinnacle of the appellation.
The 2019 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (May 2025): 91/100 “Fruity, loose, tender and solar at the same time, 2019 offers a breath full of charm but lacks a little density and relief compared to the vintages that frame it. The context effect mentioned in the preamble is fully in play.”
Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 94/100
J.M Quarin (February 2022): 95/100 “Smooth on entry, particularly fruity in the middle, with a melting body and a refined touch, the wine gains fullness and expression in the second half of the palate. The finish is long, with fine tannins that are constantly aromatic. Very good."
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 97/100 “The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier has a precise and complex bouquet with blackberry cedar and tobacco scents, quite Médoc-like in style. This is thoroughly engaging. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, exquisitely integrated oak, fleshy and fine-boned with precise finish. This is outstanding."
