Absolut grossartig war der Domaine de Chevalier mit seinen Pfirsich- und Lindenblütennoten
96 Wine Spectator
A distinctive style, with a rich core of tangerine, peach and Jonagold apple flavors that stretch out through the long finish, picking up salted butter, honeysuckle and mineral accents. Somewhat Burgundian in style, with more than enough stuffing to cellar once bottled.—J.M.

The Domaine de Chevalier 2015 Blanc is composed of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon, fermented in barrel (35% new), and aged for 18 months on the lees with stirring. It opens with lovely lemon tart, fresh grapefruit and pineapple with a waft of honeysuckle. The medium-bodied palate is very tightly knit with wonderfully crisp acid and a citrusy finish.
Producer
Domaine de Chevalier
A top producer of both reds and whites, the unique Domaine de Chevalier is one of the leading Grand Cru Classés to craft both varieties in the Pessac-Léognan. The property has been owned by the Bernard family since 1983, although their vineyards date as far back as the 1770s. Today the family continues in their quest for quality and balance with the help of the Bernards’ right hand, Rémi Edange. Edange manages the domaine hands-on, he is equally committed to producing the appellation’s best wines. Today, Oliver Bernard, beside Edange and recently appointed head vigneron, Stéphane Derenoncourt make up quite a fine team, producing some of the most sought after Left Bank whites. Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is a small production blend, dominated by Sauvignon Blanc with the remaining one fourth Sémillon, the wine is barrel-fermented and aged resulting in a structured and elegant wine. The newest vintages of Domaine de Chevalier Rouge similarly attract attention, and have continued to grow in quality, it is a sophisticated and generous red that delivers a lot for its price.
