2023 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc
This is layered and complex with an impressive mineral tension and depth. Medium- to full-bodied, very long and persistent. It has oyster shell, crushed stone and citrus peel character with racy acidity coming through, adding to its length and tension. Very long and firm at the end with a backbone of fine tannins for a white. 70% sauvignon blanc and 30% semillon. ~ (98) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 4-22-2024
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. ~ (96) Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-26-2024

Got to be the most consisent of all Pessac Léognan whites, sets out its stall immediately with fresh acidities and fennel spice, giving a kick and lift, classically nuanced and structured. White pear, sage, liqourice root, savoury as all hell, and so moriesh. Working with Stéphane Derenocourt since 2018 on the whites (longer on the reds). ~ (96) Jane Anson, Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux 4-11-2024
Sauvignon character evident on the nose. Certain depth of fruit on the palate but a little more forward than usual. Less éclat at the moment but Chevalier often surprises with a bit of bottle age. ~ (16) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 4-18-2024
Ripe citrus, honeyed flowers, mint, and a kiss of background oak all define the 2023 Domaine De Chevalier Blanc, a beautifully textured, medium-bodied white that has terrific mid-palate depth and richness, integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's clearly up with the crème de la crème and has the vintage's mix of richness and freshness. ~ (96) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-8-2024
