Pour déterminer, parmi son Top 100, le Vin de l'année. Deux critères s'avéraient primordiaux:
- qu'il fût excellent, bien sûr,
- qu'il restât accessible pour les amateurs
"For My Wine Of The Year, I wanted something accessible to most serious wine consumers. This essentially ruled out anything I scored above 96 points – all of which sells for $100 or more. So instead I picked the 2010 Domaine de Chevalier. It’s still excellent , but it sells in the region of US$60 to US$70 a bottle and is widely available in all major wine markets."
"Domaine de Chevalier struggled to make great wines in the 1990s after extensive vine replantation, but 2013 proves it is back to its former glory. This most recent release reminds me of their wines from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s – "
"Dark fruits such as raspberries and blueberries with subtle perfume on the nose. Full body, with super well-integrated tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Racy young wine. Shows classy structure and richness. 96 pts Try in 2018." (Nov. 2013) J.S.
Merci à James Suckling pour l'honneur qu'il nous fait!
