Merchant's description

Domaine de Chevalier, a prestigious Grand Cru Classé estate in Pessac-Léognan, is renowned for its exceptional red and white wines. The 1983 vintage has gracefully matured, revealing enticing aromas of fallen leaves, earthy mushrooms, hints of bramble, and semi-dried plum, complemented by notes of raspberry, leather, cedar, and a subtle metallic nuance. On the palate, the wine displays a tangy juiciness with cranberry notes and a gentle tannic presence in the mid-palate.
