"Tasted at the chateau. This is an exceptional Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, certainly the one to seek out in recent vintages. It simply has a beautiful nose with wonderful definition and sense of minerality. Apple, lime and a touch of Lychee, very focused and poised. The palate has superb weight, very good acidity and concentration. It is slightly viscous with a touch of clear honey towards the finish. Very long and satisfying. Tasted September 2008."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
In the Graves, the only Bordeaux appellation renowned for both reds and dry whites. Gravelly soils yield smoky, mineral reds and age-worthy Sauvignon-Semillon blends.
Yields crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herb and grassy notes. It shines in the Loire, Bordeaux blends and around the world for its refreshing zip.
