Domaine de ChevalierBlanc Pessac-Léognan 2008
About this product
Domaine de Chevalier uses traditional methods when making their flavoursome white blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Fermentation occurs in oak casks and is then aged for 18th in oak, some of which is new. This practice was abandoned by many in Graves, only to be (rightfully) regenerated to allow wines of substance and character to be produced once again. Chevalier's Blanc is a wine that is taut and restrained that opens up over a six to eight year period to reveal a wine of supreme delicacy

...crisp crushed rock, fig, melon and honeysuckle notes, this beautiful but backward white is capable of lasting another 2-3 decades.

A superb wine, still youthful but starting to show the great complexity for which top vintages are noted. Nutty richness and terrific complexity; very powerful. 14% alc. (First bottle was oxidised)
