Domaine de Chevalier, Blanc is a white Bordeaux that exemplifies the finesse and complexity of the Pessac-Léognan terroir. Crafted from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, with small amounts of Muscadelle, this wine is a true reflection of the estate’s commitment to quality. The grapes are harvested from the estate’s gravelly soils, which are perfect for producing aromatic, mineral-driven whites.
On the nose, the wine bursts with fresh citrus aromas, including lemon, lime, and a hint of grapefruit, which are complemented by delicate floral notes of white flowers and a subtle touch of honey. As the wine opens up, nuances of fresh herbs and a light smokiness emerge, adding layers of complexity.
The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp, refreshing acidity that balances the rich fruit flavors. There are notes of green apple, pear, and citrus fruits, with a mineral backbone that gives the wine a sleek, clean profile. The finish is long and vibrant, with a touch of zest and flinty minerality that lingers.
Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is a wine that showcases both elegance and precision, with the potential for aging, during which its complexity and depth will continue to evolve. It's an exceptional white Bordeaux that combines freshness, structure, and remarkable aging potential.
