An absolutely textbook great white Graves made from 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon and aged nine months on its lees, this is a prodigious effort displaying notes of white flowers, currants, honeyed citrus, fig, and crushed rocks. The wine is very pure, with full body and high acidity, in a backward, almost tannic style. Give this wine at least 8-10 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 30 years.
There's attractive blackberry and light vanilla, with a hint of licorice. Full-bodied, with a caressing texture, very pretty fruit and notes of chocolate and licorice.
Helles, frisches Gelb mit grünlichem Schimmer. Klares, pfeffriges Bouquet, Agrumentöne und Granny-Smithtouch, mineralisch mit dezentem Kalkschimmer. Direkter, mit Frucht unterstützer Säure begleiteter Gaumen, wieder Agrumentöne im saftigen Extrakt. Ein erfrischender, zart mineralischer Domaine de Chevalier auf den man vielleicht einmal nicht so lange warten muss wie gewöhnlich. Dies bei unvermindertem Potential.
