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.

97/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

The white Domaine de Chevalier 2017 wafts out of the glass with alluring notes of mandarin peel, lemon meringue pie, and lime blossoms, plus hints of chalk dust, white pepper, and fresh ginger. Medium-bodied, the palate has electric intensity with lots of mineral sparks and a very long multilayered finish. Wow! So youthful...it should age beautifully.

The 2017 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is reduced on the nose and it needs 20 to 30 minutes in the glass to really find its (aromatic) voice: lemon curd, hazelnut, pressed white flowers and a touch of smoke as it finally speaks up. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity: poised and lively, but quite reserved at first. This is a white Pessac-Léognan predestined for long-term ageing, so stick away in the cellar for a good few years.
