More savory than fruit-driven

Deep barrel char and non-chill filtration enhance its character

On the linear palate

black pepper and an almond croissant dazzle

Domaine de Chevalier Pessac Leognan Rouge 2020 Wood Box Instore neverthelessWell built, pulling ample and weighty waves of cassis, plum reduction and blackberry preserves along, atop a broad spine of warm loam, smoldering tobacco and singed alder. Long and deep through the fine grained finish, with a warm paving stone note that won't quit, thanks to well buried acidity not an easy feat in this vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2028 through 2038.
