Note di degustazione
The 1983 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc has a pale hue. It shows light honeyed scents and linen, quite Chenin in style, with hints of Chinese white tea. Maybe it would benefit a little more delineation. The palate is well balanced with sour lemon on the entry. It's tensile with plenty of energy for a 40-year-old dry white Bordeaux. Fine energy with plenty of weight. I appreciate its waxy texture and ginger-tinged finish. This is drinking beautifully, and a little more precision on the nose would have merited a higher score. Tasted blind at Olivier Bernard's "3" dinner at Domaine de Chevalier.

The Domaine de Chevalier 1983 Blanc put in a brilliant performance and probably just pipped the 1983 Laville Haut-Brion Blanc served alongside. It has an intense nose, quite ostentatious for this estate, with scents of marmalade, Japanese yuzu, mint and juniper berries. It feels very youthful and lively and that is also conveyed on the palate. This is so tensile, a real live wire with a taut and linear finish that displays tremendous precision. Considering this was Olivier Bernard's debut vintage, you could say that the boy did good! Tasted June 2017.
