Domaine de CHEVALIER
Grand cru classé

The 2021 vintage is rated 96/100 by Antonio Galloni “The 2021 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is a dense, powerful dry white. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2021 is going to need quite a bit of time to be at its best. Today, the wine's textural intensity and some oak are front and center. The 2021 is a Blanc of substance and real character. I can't wait to see how it ages.” (Dec. 2023)

Also rated 95/100 by Neal Martin “The 2021 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc was one of the best wines that I tasted, white or red, during en primeur. Now in bottle, it has a captivating bouquet of mineral-rich citrus fruit that represents one of the most complex I have encountered in any vintage. The palate is well-balanced with a beautiful line of acidity and a slightly resinous texture, very complex and intense on the finish that lingers in the mouth. What a fabulous dry white Bordeaux this will become.” (Nov. 2023)

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)

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)

The 2021 vintage is rated 93/100 by the Revue du Vin de France “An undeniable success, confirming the estate's current form. [...] The ageing is discreet, highlighting the quality of the tannins and the long, expressive, full-bodied finish”. (September 2024)

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)
