CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2020 Domaine de Chevalier has a refined and understated nose, well-defined with blackberry, briar, gravel and earth. Sensual in style, it gradually unfurls in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins and a little creaminess toward the back end, but there is still decent structure here. Give this four to five years in bottle-the class shines through. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Tasted from a half-bottle. 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Semillon. This is a bit fruitier than the 2016, but not excessively so. Starfruit, kiwi and passionfruit along with fennel and pencil shavings. The acidity is elevated but less intense than that of the 2016. (JRL)
