Domaine De Chevalier Rouge, (Magnum) 2021
Est. delivery in autumn, 2026 Domaine de Chevalier is located in a clearing in the middle of a forest that protects the vines from extremes of temperature. In fact, Chevalier is a sort of secret garden, far from the limelight. This is something of a paradox for such an excellent wine, among the greatest in Bordeaux. The 2021 shows the vintage's combination of concentration and freshness beautifully. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend with its signature cassis and cedar, while Merlot adds flesh and early charm.
Volnay Premier Cru 'En Champans', Domaine de Montille 2023
"A complex interplay of steep, sandy limestone vineyards and marl soils delivers a wine of notable finesse. Over one-third whole cluster fermentation brings bright raspberry and crunchy cherry fruit, accented with spice and silky tannins. Balanced acidity and freshness make this a beautiful, early-access Volnay." Our note The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
