Note di degustazione
There is a lovely, lifted scent to the contained, restrained nose of Domaine de Chevalier Blanc in 2021. It is absolutely delicious, with a juicy, almost waxy texture, brimming with white peach and ripe apricot fruit. There is fantastic backbone of acidity giving the wine great poise, beautifully balanced, with plenty of flesh to the fruit. It has an electric finish with mineral, saline notes, while still remaining gorgeously opulent. This is a fabulous wine in 2021, that is just so moreish – the finest quality in any wine. 75% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Sémillon

Mostly Sauvignon Blanc (there's 30% Semillon), the 2021 Domaine De Chevalier Blanc offers beautiful tart citrus, honeyed minerality, and sappy, floral notes in a fresh, focused, racy style that still brings beautiful depth and richness. It's more tight and reserved than the L'Esprit and needs 2-4 years in the cellar. It's another classy, vibrant, age-worthy beauty from this brilliant estate.
The 2021 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc was one of the best wines that I tasted, white or red, during en primeur. Now in bottle, it has a captivating bouquet of mineral-rich citrus fruit that represents one of the most complex I have encountered in any vintage. The palate is well-balanced with a beautiful line of acidity and a slightly resinous texture, very complex and intense on the finish that lingers in the mouth. What a fabulous dry white Bordeaux this will become.
The 2021 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is a dense, powerful dry white. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2021 is going to need quite a bit of time to be at its best. Today, the wine's textural intensity and some oak are front and center. The 2021 is a Blanc of substance and real character. I can't wait to see how it ages.
