I try to do things naturally as I can, constantly seeking a balanced approach to everything, and am not reluctant to rely on modern methods - but always within the framework of Chevalier's history... A vertical tasting of the last thirty vintages showed the wine's unmistakable personality year after year. Man is only a facilitator... the terroir is by far, the most important thing.

This structured wine with big, bold red fruits offers ripe acidity, a dense texture and considerable concentration. It also has the hallmark freshness of the vintage that balances the strong aging potential. Drink from 2022.

This sports lovely, enticing plum sauce, melted black licorice, blackberry pâte de fruit and cherry compote notes, along with fruitcake and graphite accents that fill in the background. The solid structure is fully absorbed into the fruit, and this should cellar well. A solid effort for the vintage. Best from 2017 through 2025.
