I picked this wine for a family birthday celebration. Though better known for its whites, the red wines of Domaine de Chevalier are nevertheless still very good and the shelf display showed a good score with a reasonable price. It proved to be a good choice. We had roast beef that day and this went down with it like a treat.
Although a young wine, it turned out to have reached the drinking stage, even though it had a deep purple ruby hue. The nose was sweet with plenty of fruit and a touch of wood, whilst the palate gave a nice balance of sweet fruit acidity and tannins, leading onto a backbone of acid and tannins giving sterling support.
