2019 Domaine de Chevalier, Blanc Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan 1x750ml

Vinous 94

The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc has a well-defined bouquet with citrus peel and light fume scents, focused and with admirable vigor. The palate is well-balanced with fine weight and intensity married with counterbalancing acidity. Cohesive with a subtle reduction on the finish – this is a quality dry white Bordeaux. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. [Neal Martin, 28/02/2023]

Domaine de Chevalier’s 2019 Blanc is performing brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with notes of citrus pith, white currants, crisp orchard fruit, spring flowers, lemongrass and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s concentrated and structured, with terrific depth at the core, racy acids and a long, sapid finish. This is a white Bordeaux where the vulgarity of Sauvignon is sublimated rather than emphasized, and the result is a compelling wine of considerable complexity and aging potential.
