2023 Domaine de Chevalier, Blanc Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan 1x750ml

Vinous 94+

The 2023 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc demands coaxing from the glass, revealing cooking apple, pear and petrichor scents with time. It feels just a bit shut down after bottling. The palate is more indicative of the wine to come: very intense with impressive weight, lightly spiced, fanning out toward the finish with a long, stem ginger-tinged finish that augurs for a white Domaine de Chevalier with the legs to run a long race.

Anticipated maturity: 2028-2050

Robert Parker 94-96

A perfumed, complex bouquet of pear, white peach, hazelnuts, lime tree leaves and spring flowers prefaces the 2023 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated wine with racy acids, chalky, structuring dry extract, and a bright, vibrant profile that’s rare in this vintage. This is a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon. [Yohan Castaing, 04/26/2024]
