 DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER Blanc
ASSEMBLAGE : 85% Sauvignon, 15% Sémillon
Robe d'un joli jaune pâle accompagnée de teintes de vert et d'une belle brillance. Le nez est frais sur les agrumes, le buis, les fleurs blanches et les fruits à chair blanche. En bouche, il est d'un soyeux remarquable et d'un fruité légèrement acidulé et minéral avec de délicates notes de melon et de figue. La finale est de longueur moyenne. Une belle bouteille !

Robert Parker – 92/100 Drink -

Composed of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon and exhibiting crisp crushed rock, fig, melon and honeysuckle notes, this beautiful but backward white is capable of lasting another 2-3 decades.

Jancis Robinson – 17,5/20 Drink -

Spicy and a little oily on the nose but also fresh citrus and cedar. Marked freshness with tight fresh grapefruit flavours, perhaps just a little reductive but appropriately so at this stage in its evolution. Lovely long tangy finish.

Neal Martin – 92/100 Drink -

Tasted ex-château and single blind in Southwold. The Domaine de Chevalier Blanc 2008 has an attractive, almost Burgundy-like nose with fine delineation and freshness: touches of beeswax and pressed white flowers. I like the subtle nature of this wine. The palate is well balanced with a citrus, grassy entry, good tension and more intensity than the previous wines in the flight. There is an attractive lime zest note on the finish. Superb. Tasted January 2012.

Very good wine with a very fresh taste. Probably one of the best white wine!


Domaine de Chevalier-Cru Classé de Graves-Appellation Pessac-Léognan Blanc
Domaine de Chevalier Domaine de Chevalier's history goes back at least as far as the 18th century, when it was known as "Chibaley" (meaning "chevalier", or knight, in the Gason language). The estate was acquired by the Ricard family, who in turn sold it to the Bernard family, France's leading producers of industrial alcohol as well as major Bordeaux négociants. Domaine de Chevalier is now managed by Oliver Bernard, who perpetuates a tradition of quality going back more than 130 years.
