Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, Pessac Léognan, 2011
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
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.
