Robert Parker (94)

The 2021 Domaine de Chevalier reveals a deep, complex bouquet with aromas of blackberries and blueberries mingled with spices, cigar wrapper and coniferous forest floor, followed by a medium to full-bodied, sweet and concentrated palate animated by bright acids and framed by fine, powdery tannins. It's an impressive effort that will reward a bit of bottle age. It's a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc.

James Suckling (95)

A medium-bodied DC with a pretty core of ripe fruit that shows licorice, blackberry and some currant character. Spice box, too. Very long, with fine tannins and plenty of energy. 80% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 5% petit verdot and 5% cabernet franc.

Jancis Robinson (17)

80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc.
Very dark, almost black at the core. Seductive black fruit on the nose. Richer than most in this line-up of 2021s but still with a dark restraint. Firm, chewy, chalky tannins. Very dry but not drying. There's elegance to the Cabernet here but it is not a wine for hedonists.
