ABOUT THE WINE
The 2010 Domaine de Chevalier is a benchmark vintage from one of Pessac-Léognan’s most respected estates. Combining power with remarkable finesse, it reveals complex aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite, and subtle smoky notes. The palate is concentrated yet beautifully balanced, supported by refined tannins, vibrant freshness, and exceptional precision. Now entering an outstanding phase of maturity, this classic Bordeaux offers both immediate enjoyment and the potential to evolve further over the next decade. A superb expression of the exceptional 2010 vintage.
TASTING NOTES
Deep garnet in colour, the 2010 Domaine de Chevalier opens with expressive aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cassis, cedar, graphite, and subtle hints of tobacco and smoke. The palate is rich and concentrated, showcasing layers of dark fruit, mineral complexity, and well-integrated oak. Firm yet polished tannins provide excellent structure, while vibrant acidity brings freshness and balance. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, revealing notes of spice, cocoa, and crushed stone.
FOOD PAIRING
Pairs beautifully with refined, savoury dishes that complement its structure and depth. Ideal matches include roast lamb with rosemary, grilled beef fillet, or slow-cooked beef short rib. It also works well with game such as venison or duck, particularly when served with rich, earthy sauces. For cheese, opt for aged selections like Comté, mature Gouda, or a well-aged cheddar to mirror the wine’s complexity without overwhelming its finesse.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
Now drinking beautifully, this exceptional vintage will continue to develop additional complexity with further cellaring.
