The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, matured in 35% new oak, has a divine bouquet of mirabelle and (still) that hint of kaffir lime, displaying wonderful mineralité and energy. The palate is very well balanced with fine salinity, good concentration, a little more weight toward the finish than I remember from last year, and a tanginess that provides energy. It gains complexity with aeration. Noble, refined and classy, this is a Domaine de Chevalier from the top drawer. 12/2021

The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is a rich, powerful wine. Lemon confit, dried flowers, marzipan, sage and mint all open. In 2019, the Blanc has a distinct orchard fruit and savory character. Ultimately, it feels a bit heavy and lacking in freshness. That said, the Blanc has a track record for developing beautifully for decades, so let's see what happens. I must say I expected more energy and delineation. 01/2022

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. 04/2022

Couleur pâle, aux reflets jaunes. Nez intense, fin, fruité, subtil et complexe. De suite, sa texture séduit en bouche. Le vin se met à fondre, avec un goût de pêche, de poire et un gras étonnant. Sa particularité cette année est d’être moins marqué par l’acidité (citron) que parfois. Longue finale savoureuse. Ensemble délicieux. Notez que l’échantillon est resté vivant, bouteille ouverte et conservée au réfrigérateur, pendant 8 jours, ce qui est très bon signe. Assemblage : 70 % sauvignon, 30 % sémillon. 06/2020

Very pretty with lovely apple, cream, lavender, pineapple and light honey. Full-bodied, yet creamy and refined, with great length and polish. Fresh acidity, but the finish is polished and pretty. Subtle. 70% sauvignon blanc and 30% semillon. Drink in 2024. 03/2022
