justerini & brooks tasting note

Once again Olivier Bernard has produced the goods at Domaine de Chevalier with the 2011 Blanc a shining light in a line up of very good whites in Bordeaux in April. Wonderfully detailed, bright fruit on a nose alive with lime, white flowers and greengage. The palate displays all that is great in 2011; intense, long flavours of great purity and balance, salty nectarines, minerals, cool river stones, citrus and cut grass. Superb.

critic reviews

94+/100Ian d'Agata,Vinous

Bright straw. Floral nuances complement gooseberry, peach nectar, lemon verbena and mineral aromas on the slow-to-open nose. Rich, bright flavors of guava, green banana and rosemary are lifted by a laser beam of acidity and complicated by hints of underripe passion fruit and pear. Finishes chewy and long, with a strong impression of extract. This very pure, linear wine should age splendidly for decades, gaining in flesh and volume, but it's impeccably balanced and remarkably drinkable right now.
