Domaine de Chevalier, Blanc 2020

Description

This Pessac-Léognan estate is one of the only Bordeaux properties which has retained its ‘Domaine’ title over the now standard ‘Château’, reflecting a pride in its long history and its intrinsic link to the terroir. This is one of the best value and quality whites in Bordeaux, quickly appearing on everyone’s radar following a series of strong performances over the last seven vintages. The single block of vineyards has grown from 15 hectares when the Bernard family purchased the estate in 1983 to 45 and is located amongst the pines of the Landes forest, which protect the vines from extreme weathers. The vineyard is divided between 5 grape varieties (Sémillion, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot)
