Decent amount of red fruit, a middling level of tannin, and a appropriate pairing for red meat.

A disappointing vintage with a pronounced flaw in its flavor profile. The nose reveals a mix of cherry, forest floor, and leather notes, but the impression is marred by a dominant tartness that persists on the finish. Further investigation suggests that cork taint may be a contributing factor, or perhaps improper storage, warranting a return.

What the web is saying

Chevalier du Grand Robert Bordeaux offers a mix of opinions. While some appreciate its decent red fruit and tannin levels, others find it lacking in complexity and density. Flavors of cherry, leather, and chocolate are noted, but tartness and a muted character disappoint some. It's considered a solid value for its price, though some vintages suffer from potential flaws like cork taint.

Voss Experts4.4

Exhibiting a deep garnet hue, the Chevalier du Grand Robert Bordeaux opens with an intricate bouquet of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and a hint of graphite, underscored by subtle cedar and earthy nuances. The palate is structured and harmonious, with finely grained tannins providing a robust framework for the concentrated fruit core. A vibrant acidity lends freshness, while notes of plum and cassis evolve into a lingering finish of mineral complexity and gentle spice. This Bordeaux exemplifies the classic left-bank style, offering both immediate appeal and potential for graceful aging.

We are 50+ wine professionals (sommeliers, buyers, MW candidates) across the US, UK, France, Greece, Italy, and beyond. We review wines via blind tastings with a standardized rubric, using both 100-point and 5-star scales.
