Note di degustazione
The 1992 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is poured from a splendid magnum and delivers everything you want. Wonderful delineation on the nose, this unfurls with seductive scents of orange blossom and lemon thyme, somehow quite "gentle" yet focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a dab of lemon sherbet on the entry, slightly waxy in texture with a fine bead of acidity emanating from this cool off-vintage. A wonderful twist of sour lemon gets the saliva flowing and you want more. Excellent. Tasted twice at the 1982 Bordeaux dinner at Hatched then again at the château.

One of two terrific efforts from the Domaine de Chevalier, the 1992 exhibits a tight but promising nose of rich, melony, waxy, honeyed fruit complemented nicely by smoky new oak. Well-structured and concentrated, with layers of fruit and an inner-core of mineral, steely fruit, this formidably endowed, backward wine will need 7-12 years to open; it should last 25 or more years. Impressive!
