Domaine de Chevalier Rouge
Pessac-Leognan

Vinous.com/Neal Martin - The 2017 Domaine de Chevalier was impressive from barrel. Bottled since June 2019, it has clearly retained that gorgeous nose with delineated scents of blackberry, black olive, shucked oyster shells and orange rind. Wonderful vigour here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, lithe and very focused. It is not a powerful nor indeed a long-term Domaine de Chevalier, ergo my lower score than 2016. Bottom line is that it is just a delicious wine to consume. Still, it will offer 20 years of drinking pleasure. Tasted twice with consistent notes

LE PETIT HAUT LAFITTE
Pessac-Leognan

2nd Wine of Chateau
Smith Haut Lafitte
The top wine currently sells for £84 a bottle! So this is real value.

RP/Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot coming from the younger vines of Smith Haut Lafitte, the 2015 Le Petit Haut Lafitte sports a medium garnet-purple colour and an alluring crushed red currants, black cherries and spice box-laced nose with touches of cloves and lavender. Medium to full-bodied with wonderful generosity and plenty of spice, the open-for-business flavours are well-supported by plush tannins, and it finishes with a peppery lift.
