Domaine de Chevalier

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 99.0

Well known for creating spectacular red and white wines, Domaine de Chevalier is an acclaimed Graves estate that can trace its history back centuries. For the white wine, its vineyard is planted with Sauvignon Blanc (c.70%) and Semillon (c.30%) on a terroir of gravel over black sandy clay and hardpan soil. Its oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines are over 50 years of age, pre-dating the Bernard family who purchased the estate in 1983. The final blend is matured in 30% new French oak barrels. As of 2021 the vineyard has been farmed using 100% biodynamic farming techniques. The estate was certified 100% biodynamic in 2023.

Jane Anson

Touch of reduction on the first nose, intense, gunsmoke-filled aromatics, clearly aimed at extremely long ageing. Great quality, stands out for its serious structure, with clove, aniseed and fennel woven through citrus and white pear, has weight and manages to stay on the savoury side of ripe. Needs time and food. Tasted twice. 40th harvest of Olivier Bernard (meaning a special label), 33% new oak.

70% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sémillon. Cask sample. Light nose but a very convincingly mineral palate. Some real delicacy. How did they manage that? Sleek and smoky. A wine for white-burgundy lovers … Very juicy. I suspect this will go through many stages.
