"Real poise and elegance. Fine nose with a beautiful pitch of fruit. Depth and intensity. Palate rich, smooth, even a touch of opulence with fine, silky tannins and great length. Drink 2014-2030 (18.5 points)"

"The brilliant St.-Emilion-based consultant, Stephane Derenoncourt, is working his magic at this great vineyard in Leognan. The 2006, a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, is a revelation of sweet, lush, black raspberry and black currant fruit intermixed with subtle notes of scorched earth and barbecue spices. Round, luscious, sexy, and exceptionally complex, the wine is dominated by that smoky minerality that comes from this area. It is the quintessentially elegant yet substantial Pessac-Leognan with class, complexity, and potential. Despite wanting to drink most of the bottle when I was tasting it, I know it will be even better with 2-4 years of bottle age, and should keep for two decades."

"89-91 points: This is a reassuring as well as encouraging offering from this great estate in the southern sector of Pessac Leognan. A deep ruby/purple color, and a sweet perfume of cassis and vanilla are followed by a medium-bodied, expansively flavored, concentrated wine with loads of fruit, considerable definition, and soft tannin. Domaine de Chevalier can give the appearance of being too woody and lean, but the 2002 has flawlessly integrated wood. The tannin is sweet in this impressively elegant, expansive Pessac Leognan. It should drink well between 2006-2016."
