Domaine de Chevalier 2008 Rouge:
WINE DOCTOR: 17-18+/20
"Sweet and smoky dark fruits, with a properly sweet sense to the fruit character. A textured palate, with good substance, and sweet plum and blackberry fruit. Balanced. A lovely ripe extract, good backbone, overall a fine and harmonious wine."
Domaine de Chevalier 2008 Blanc:
WINE DOCTOR: 17,5-18,5+/20
"This is pure, lifted and rich,
showing plump pear and stone fruit. It has an elegantly polished character to
it, and all seems in total harmony. There is a slightly greener edge to the
fruit than is found in some of the bigger wines but I like that. The palate is
full, stylish, with delightfully vibrant and lifted fruit notes, and intense
and piercing freshness and vivacious acidity. Full of vigour, in combination
with midpalate flesh, this is a brilliant effort."
