James Suckling: "Fine cocoa powder, cedar, minerals, currants and blue fruit. Juicy and medium- to full-bodied with fresh, firm tannins and a long, crunchy finish. It lingers well. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot and 5% petit verdot."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Deep garnet-purple in color. Pops from the glass with wonderfully fragrant notes of red roses, cardamom, and mossy tree bark, leading to a core of cassis and red currant jelly. The light-bodied palate is energetic and shimmery, delivering fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and minerally."

Weinwisser: "65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 % Merlot, 5 % Merlot, 48 hl/ha, Alkohol 12.45 vol%. Verspieltes rot- und blaubeeriges Bouquet, edle Cassiswürze, Flieder und hellem Tabak. Am sehr eleganten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, balancierter Rasse und mittlerem Körper. Im gebündelten Finale verschlankt sich der Pessac-Léognan, schwarze Johannisbeere, dunkles Edelholz und erhabene, fein mehlige Adstringenz. Ein männlicher Domaine de Chevalier, kann noch zulegen."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Black currants, espresso, black cherries, smoke, and tobacco aromatics create the perfume. The wine is forward, fresh, chewy, and vibrant, with layers of elegant, peppery, black cherries, and currants, ending with a touch of mint, and tobacco in the finish. The wine blends 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. 12.45% ABV, 3.62 pH. The harvest took place from September 20 to October 8. Drink from 2029-2048."

Jeb Dunnuck: "Based on 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2024 Domaine de Chevalier was brought up in 30% new oak and reveals ripe red and black fruits, loamy earth, tobacco, and graphite. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced on the palate, it has juicy acidity, a pure, classic character, and outstanding length. It's a beautiful wine that brings to mind the best vintages from the 1980s and 1990s."

Falstaff: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Frisches rotes Waldbeerkonfit, ein Hauch von Herzkirschen, Ribisel und Gewürze, feine tabakige Nuancen. Mittlerer Körper, rote Kirschen, frisch strukturiert, balanciert, mineralisch im Abgang, ein Hauch von Nougat im Finale, wird von Flaschenreife profitieren."
