Domaine of Chevalier Blanc 2022 is a brilliant and refined expression of a top dry white Bordeaux. From one of the most revered estates in Pessac-Léognan, this wine combines aromatic purity, vibrant freshness and structured elegance. In the balanced 2022 vintage, it stands out for its precision, complexity and aging potential, embodying the estate’s signature style.
Appearance: bright pale yellow with golden highlights.
Nose: complex and layered with ripe citrus (candied lemon, sweet orange), white flowers, white peach, pear, delicate exotic fruit, nuanced flint and fine honeyed notes.
Palate: broad, structured and perfectly balanced. Fresh and precise attack followed by silky texture, underpinned by vibrant acidity and saline minerality. Long, elegant and persistent finish with expressive aromatics.
Pessac-Léognan’s deep gravel soils over clay-sandy subsoils provide exceptional drainage and promote aromatic purity. Blend dominated by Sémillon, complemented by Sauvignon Blanc and a touch of Sauvignon Gris, offering tension, richness and aging capacity.
Hand-harvested grapes with stringent sorting. Gentle pressing, fermentation in French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit purity while adding complexity. Aged on fine lees with regular batonnage and a measured amount of new oak, perfectly integrated to balance richness and freshness.
Pairs beautifully with fine oysters, shellfish (lobster, langoustines), noble fish (sea bass, turbot), poultry in creamy sauces, creamy risottos or aged hard cheeses. Serve at 50–54 °F (10–12 °C).
Domaine de Chevalier Blanc 2022 is an outstanding age-worthy white. Enjoy now with aeration for its vibrancy or cellar for 10–20 years to develop deeper complexity with honeyed, toasted nut and flint notes.
