Domaine de Chevalier, Blanc 2017

Domaine de Chevalier

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 98.0

Well known for creating spectacular red and white wines, Domaine de Chevalier is an acclaimed Graves estate that can trace its history back centuries. For the white wine, its vineyard is planted with Sauvignon Blanc (c.70%) and Semillon (c.30%) on a terroir of gravel over black sandy clay and hardpan soil. Its oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines are over 50 years of age, pre-dating the Bernard family who purchased the estate in 1983. The final blend is matured in 30% new French oak barrels. As of 2021 the vineyard has been farmed using 100% biodynamic farming techniques. The estate was certified 100% biodynamic in 2023.

James Suckling

This is really powerful and structured with superb muscle and phenolic tension. Yet, it’s formed and polished, layered and dense. Full-bodied, but energetic and focused. Vibrant acidity. Goes on for minutes. Citrus, stone, straw, salt and chalk. Incredible. Try after 2023.

Julia Harding MW

Rich, cedary/oaky nose but the fruit is tangy and not overcome by the oak, spicy too. The oak is creamy as well as cedary on the palate. Underneath the barrel effect is a waxy richness and a lemon/grapefruit freshness. Shows clearly the importance of the two varieties here. Deep and very youthful. (JH)
