Tasting notes
The Domaine de Chevalier Rouge from Bordeaux is truly something special. This 2001 vintage is a blend primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, renowned for its elegance and complexity. It's one of those Bordeaux wines that captures the grace and depth that the region is famous for.
In the manga, it makes an appearance in Volume 35 during a grand showdown by Maison de Grand Cru. Paired with roasted venison topped with truffle sauce, this wine is likened to the twin stars Castor and Pollux from Greek mythology. It's a pairing that sings in harmony, just like those celestial twins shining brightly in the heavens.
When you pour a glass, the deep garnet color immediately captivates you. On the nose, there's the rich aroma of ripe cassis and black cherry, layered with truffle and a hint of a damp forest floor. As it opens up, nuances of tea and underbrush start to emerge.
Take a sip, and you're greeted with a powerful attack, followed by a mouthful of lush fruit flavors. The acidity is smooth, and the tannins have mellowed to a velvety texture. The finish is long, with complex layers that linger, leaving an elegant impression. Decanting it will help you appreciate its depth even more.
