The 2023 Blanc from Domaine de Chevalier ranks among the finest white wines produced in Bordeaux this vintage. Revealing aromas of spices, flowers, anise and fresh licorice, with oak rendered all but imperceptible, it is concentrated and structured, offering terrific depth at the core, racy acids and a mineral, saline and perfumed finish. The élevage here has elevated the wine rather than obscured it. Kudos!
The class and purity of this benchmark white Bordeaux comes through clearly, with aromas of sliced Asian pears, green apples, stones and undertones of iodine and oyster shells. Linear and bright, with verve and focus. 70% sauvignon blanc and 30% semillon. Drinkable now, but better in 2028.
The 2023 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is dense, powerful and quite substantial. Naturally, it needs time in bottle, as all vintages do at this address. Hints of marzipan, lemon confit, tangerine oil and white truffle begin to emerge over time, filling out layers that resonate effortlessly from start to finish. The 2023 is both radiant and quite fresh. In that sense, it very much embodies the style of this vintage. Tasted three times.
Ripe citrus, stone fruits, crushed stone, subtle toast, and spice nuances all emerge from the 2023 Domaine De Chevalier Blanc, a rich, medium to full-bodied white that has integrated acidity, concentration, and a great finish. Another brilliant white from this team, it's approachable now yet won't hit full maturity for at least 7-8 years and will have 20+ years of overall longevity.
Pale yellow green, silver reflections. Fine yellow tropical fruit, notes of pineapple, guava and mango, a hint of meadow herbs, inviting, fine bouquet. Juicy, elegant, fine fruit expression, pleasant acidity, good length, certain ageing potential.
