Domaine de Chevalier Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé 2016 i trækasse

<p><em><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">" A strong contender for the best vintage of Domaine de Chevalier ever produced" <strong>- Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider</strong></span></span></em></p> <p>Domaine de Chevalier er i flyvende form. Da familien Bernard overtog slottet i 1983, forblev den gamle ejer Claude Ricard på slottet i 5 år som mentor for 23 år gamle Olivier Bernard. Sidstnævnte har siden løftet Chevalier helt op i verdenseliten, både når det gælder rød- og hvidvin.</p> <p>Terroiret består af én tætplantet grusparcel i ly af omkringliggende skov. Her modner druerne optimalt, hvilket dog ingenlunde forhindrer Olivier Bernard i at finsortere over flere høstrunder - som var han producent af top Sauternes. Dyrkningen er i stor udtrækning biodynamisk, og det topmoderne vineri har allerede været fornyet ad flere omgange.</p> <p>På Chevalier er selv ikke det bedste godt nok! Af samme grund har Olivier Bernard taget den i Bordeaux ret kontroversielle beslutning: at skifte traditionel korkprop ud med den nye, teknologiske DIAM-korkprop.</p> <h2><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Anmeldelser af </span></span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;">Domaine de Chevalier Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé 2016</span></strong></h2> <p><u style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: 'Open sans'; font-size: 18px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff0000;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Kåret hos </span></span></span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder; color: #ff0000;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wine Spectator </span></span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder; color: #ff0000;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">som verdens 23. bedste vin i 2019 !!!</span></span></u></p> <p><img style="box-sizing: border-box; vertical-align: middle; border-style: none; max-width: 100%; height: 82px; color: #212529; font-family: 'Open sans'; font-size: 16px; width: 400px;" src="/pub/media/tmpForMigration/wysiwyg//udklip_31.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><em><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 14px;"><strong>97/100 Jeb Dunnuck</strong></span><br />"This deep purple-hued beauty boasts a powerful bouquet of tobacco smoke, damp earth, gravelly, rocky minerality, wood smoke, and loads of dark fruits. Full-bodied, deep, concentrated yet incredibly elegant and seamless on the palate, it’s a legendary Chevalier in the making."</span></span></em></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><em><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>97/100 Vinous</strong></span><br />"... a thrilling wine. Dense and beautifully layered, the 2016 is also quite a bit richer than it usually is. Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics and structure pulse through the wine. The red-toned fruit is incredibly primary at this stage ... It has been nothing short of magnificent on the three occasions I have tasted it so far." </span></em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><em><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>97/100 James Suckling</strong></span><br />"Aromas of blackberries, red and dark plums, cedar and gravel, as well as red flowers and brown-leaf tea. It offers a very sleek and powerful array of ripe dark fruit and a very plush, focused and elegant bed of fresh, fine and powerful tannins."</span></em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><em><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>97/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider</strong></span><br />"There is a depth of color and an even better depth of flavor. Smoke a Cohiba Behike in a fruit orchard and you get the idea of the perfume. On the palate, there are layers of elegant, silky textured fruits with sweetness, purity and richness. The finish keeps on going. The wine here is known for aging, so give it 12 years or more before opening a bottle and drink over the next 20-25 years, at least! There is no doubt, this is the finest vintage of Domaine de Chevalier Rouge ever produced, although the 2018 could be even better in the years to come! 97 Points"</span></em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><em><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">97/100 Andreas Larsson, Tasted</span></strong><br />"Youthful, intense nose with fine layers, elegant oak and mild smokiness, coffee, classical inky dark fruit and tobacco notes.

Offers a lovely combination of prodigious fruit details, with a tug of earth.
