Domaine de Chevalier Rouge 2005

Domaine de Chevalier Rouge 2005 is a distinguished Grand Cru Classé de Graves from Pessac- Léognan, Bordeaux. The 2005 vintage is widely regarded as one of the finest of the decade, producing deeply structured wines with power, elegance, and exceptional ageing potential.

Aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and tobacco. The palate reveals layers of dark plum, graphite, and earthy spice, framed by firm yet refined tannins and a long, complex finish. Matured beautifully, it now shows both richness and secondary notes of leather and cigar box.

Contains sulphites.

• Roast rib of beef
• Duck breast with red wine reduction
• Truffle-infused dishes
• Aged Comté or Gruyère
• Wild mushroom ragout

Domaine de Chevalier is unusual among Bordeaux classified growths for being located in a clearing of woodland rather than surrounded by endless vineyards. This setting helps shelter the vines and contributes to the estate’s distinctive style. The 2005 vintage has earned a place in collectors’ cellars worldwide, admired for its structure, balance, and remarkable longevity.
