Domaine de Chevalier 2020 : Polished & Profound Left Bank Gem

Domaine de Chevalier 2020 is a benchmark wine from one of the most respected estates in Bordeaux’s Graves region. Tucked away in a forested enclave of Pessac-Léognan, this estate is renowned for its philosophy of low yields, organic principles, and meticulous craftsmanship.

The 2020 vintage—characterized by sunny conditions and careful vineyard management—has yielded a wine of great depth, clarity, and age-worthiness, predominantly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc.

On the nose, the wine reveals alluring aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and crushed raspberry, complemented by graphite, cedar, and hints of violets, smoke, and spice. The palate is full-bodied yet impeccably refined, offering pure dark fruit, earthy minerality, and a fine backbone of acidity. Silky tannins provide structure without harshness, leading into a long, focused finish that speaks to the estate’s signature elegance and precision.

This wine pairs gracefully with dishes like roasted duck with fig reduction, grilled entrecôte, lamb tagine, or aged sheep’s milk cheeses such as Ossau-Iraty—each accentuating the wine’s balance of fruit and complexity.

Whether enjoying Domaine de Chevalier in the leafy sanctuary of Nad Al Sheba in Dubai or during a private dinner in Zayed Sports City Abu Dhabi, CityDrinks brings this Grand Cru Classé to your door within 2 hours—delivering the quiet strength and refinement of Pessac-Léognan straight to your glass.
