Domaine de CHEVALIER
Dry white Grand cru classé
- 2017
- Pessac-Leognan white
In white, Domaine de Chevalier produces a model unique among its peers, made of tension, vivacity and energy. Its mineral side and its capacity to age (30 years and more) bring it closer to the greatest Burgundy whites.
Rated 94+/100 by Antonio Galloni « A wine of noble breeding and class, the 2017 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc dazzles from start to finish. [...] The 2017 needs at least a few years in bottle to come together, but that won't be an issue for a wine that will drink well for several decades. » (March 2020)
Rated 95/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Ample dès l'attaque, juteux en milieu de bouche et surtout très savoureux, le vin se développe sur un toucher gras. Il fond en finale complexe, long, sur une trame sèveuse. C'est superbe. » (Oct. 2020)

Rated 95/100 by Antonio Galloni (Vinous) « Rich and unctuous in feel, the 2018 offers terrific nuance to match its creamy, enveloping personality. [...] The poised, deeply resonant finish is striking. » (April 2021)

The 2019 vintage is rated 95/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Moelleux en entrée de bouche, particulièrement fruité au milieu, accompagné d'un corps fondant et d'un toucher raffiné, le vin gagne de l'ampleur et de l'expression dans la seconde partie du palais. Il s'achève long sur des tannins fins et sans cesse aromatiques. C'est très bon. » (Feb. 2022)
