Domaine de Chevalier's 2019 Blanc is performing brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with notes of citrus pith, white currants, crisp orchard fruit, spring flowers, lemongrass and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's concentrated and structured, with terrific depth at the core, racy acids and a long, sapid finish. This is a white Bordeaux where the vulgarity of Sauvignon is sublimated rather than emphasized, and the result is a compelling wine of considerable complexity and aging potential.

Very pretty with lovely apple, cream, lavender, pineapple and light honey. Full-bodied, yet creamy and refined, with great length and polish. Fresh acidity, but the finish is polished and pretty. Subtle. 70% sauvignon blanc and 30% semillon. Drink in 2024.

The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, matured in 35% new oak, has a divine bouquet of mirabelle and (still) that hint of kaffir lime, displaying wonderful mineralité and energy. The palate is very well balanced with fine salinity, good concentration, a little more weight toward the finish than I remember from last year, and a tanginess that provides energy. It gains complexity with aeration. Noble, refined and classy, this is a Domaine de Chevalier from the top drawer.

Plump and with good underlying juiciness, this lets white peach, lemon peel and fleur de sel notes move through at a steady pace, featuring flashes of acacia and brioche on the finish. Understated and nicely done for the vintage. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2028. —J.M. <br/>

Produttore
Domaine de Chevalier
Produttore di punta sia di vini rossi che bianchi, la straordinaria tenuta Domaine de Chevalier è uno dei più importanti Grand Cru Classé a creare entrambe le varietà nel Pessac-Léognan. La proprietà è della famiglia Bernard dal 1983, anche se i vigneti risalgono addirittura al 1770. Oggi la famiglia continua la ricerca di qualità ed equilibrio con l'aiuto del braccio destro dei Bernard, Rémi Edange, il quale gestisce concretamente la tenuta e s’impegna per produrre i migliori vini della denominazione. Oggi Oliver Bernard, Edange e il recentemente nominato capo vigneron Stéphane Derenoncourt formano una bella squadra, producendo alcuni dei bianchi più ricercati della sponda sinistra. Il Domaine de Chevalier Blanc è un assemblaggio prodotto in piccole quantità, dominato dal Sauvignon Blanc con il restante quarto di Sémillon; è fermentato in botte e invecchiato per creare un vino strutturato ed elegante. Anche le annate più recenti del Domaine de Chevalier Rouge attirano l'attenzione, e la loro qualità ha continuato a migliorare. Si tratta di un rosso sofisticato e generoso con un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.
