A beautiful, classic cru in a legendary vintage. Powerful and balanced at the same time, it would be perfect with a lamb rack.

Tasting Notes
93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2000 Domaine de Chevalier has long been one of my favorite wines and now at 16 years of age, it continues to live up to expectations. It has a beautiful nose, so lively and vivacious, with black plum and blackberry, cedar and damp undergrowth scents, an undercurrent of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive definition, a fine thread of acidity, though still backward and intimating that there is "much more in the tank." (NM) (7/2016)
