2025 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc
A tight and powerful wine with a precise and structured texture. Restrained, steely and racy. Goes on for minutes. So much intensity. A bright and shining white. Stunning balance. Alcohol 13.5%. A blend of 70% sauvignon blanc and 30% semillon. ~ (99) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 4-26-2026
The 2025 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc gets my vote for the white wine of the vintage. Rich and powerful in the glass, but also beautifully vibrant, the 2025 dazzles from start to finish. Lemon confit, pear, slate, mint, white flowers and tangerine peel are some of the many aromas and flavors that develop over time. The 2025 is quite simply stunning. Don’t miss it! ~ (99) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 4-28-2026
The Domaine de Chevalier 2025 Blanc reveals an expressive bouquet of white fruits—pear and white peach—alongside floral notes. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s dense yet remarkably fresh and precise, with a crystalline, ethereal profile. Both aromatic and concentrated, it combines depth with clarity, concluding with a long, ethereal and perfumed finish. Once again, this is a fine success and surely one of the most precise white wines produced in Bordeaux this year. ~ (95) Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-30-2026
Straight from the first nose this is clearly one of the whites of the vintage. The most beautifully flinty and sculpted citrus and pear. Harvest August 25 to September 6. 33% new oak. In organic conversion. It's now been a decade of vineyard work to ensure that the white grapes are in the coolest part of the estate, and ageing takes place in a variety of differently sized barrels, with plenty of lees work that changes every year - so in 2024 they stirred through the December, this year only October because the richness was already there. In a word, they know what they are doing and you can rest easy. ~ (95) Jane Anson, Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux 4-9-2026
Peach and pear notes. Round and full on the palate. Less drive and vivacity than some years, the acidity less intense. ~ (16) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 4-16-2026
The 2025 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc was picked from August 25 to September 6 at 38 hl/ha. It has a more backward, slightly reserved nose than I was expecting. It is keeping its cards hidden for now. The palate is well balanced, with good weight, fine density, touches of freshly sliced pear, stem ginger and lemon peel, though it feels linear and correct on the finish. Very fine, but I suspect it will reveal its true identity after bottling. ~ (93) Neal Martin, Vinous 5-7-2026
A terrific, serious white from this reference point estate outside of Léognan, the 2025 Domaine De Chevalier Blanc reveals orchard fruits, spice, and crushed stone on the nose. It's rich and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity, ample mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It's going to need just a few years of bottle age to come together. ~ (96) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-11-2026
