"Pure magic, the 2009 Domaine De Chevalier Blanc shows how special as well as how ageworthy these whites from the Graves region of Bordeaux can be. Revealing a medium gold color as well as a stunning array of caramelized lime, crushed stone, quince, honeysuckle, flowers, and beeswax, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, opulent texture, bright acidity, and a gorgeous finish. Flirting with perfection, it will stand up to anything out there. I'd say it's drinking at point today, yet this bottle improved with air and was still brilliant on day two, so it certainly has a long life ahead of it. Hats off to the Chevalier team for this incredible wine." Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, Nov 2020 |
