Energy and depth play off each other beautifully in the 2022 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, which layers ripe pear, nectarine and baked apple with lime zest, jasmine and a cool, stony smokiness. The palate is concentrated and textural yet vividly bright, with Sauvignon’s tension wrapped in Sémillon’s creamy weight, driving through to a long, precise, mineral-charged finish that marks this as one of the standout dry whites of the vintage.

Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is the grand vin dry white from this renowned Pessac-Léognan estate in Graves, crafted mainly from Sauvignon Blanc with a significant proportion of Sémillon. Grown in a cool, gravelly terroir surrounded by forest, it is known for its intense yet refined aromatics of citrus, stone and exotic fruits, floral notes and marked minerality, combined with a rich, silky texture and vibrant acidity. The wine is considered one of Bordeaux’s benchmark ageworthy whites, gaining complexity and depth over many years in bottle.
