Fyldig, tæt næse domineret af gul Reineclaude. Fint citrongræs bagved, et par æbletoner og kvæde. Harmonisk, næsten ingen træ, det passer godt! Smagen er klart en liga over. Meget aromatisk, øjne og mund strammer. Vidunderligt citrongræs og lime bag den søde Reineclaude, kvædepæren. Stor længde med salt og mineralitet. Dette er en fornøjelse! Vinen er ikke helt så stor som i 2021, men det er en meget sammenhængende, harmonisk og spændende hvid Domaine de Chevalier. Hvis prisen er rigtig, er dette et anbefalet køb. Kun lige bag eller ved siden af Smith som den første eller anden vinder i hvid. Jeg kan rigtig godt lide den! *** Domaine de Chevalier, der ligger i den sydlige del af Pessac-Léognan, er nu en af regionens absolutte superstjerner, når det gælder rødvin, og har været det i meget længere tid, når det gælder hvidvin. En hel del mennesker anser Domaine de Chevalier Blanc og Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc for at være de to absolut bedste hvidvine fra Bordeaux. I hvert fald i den billige ende af skalaen, for La Mission hvid og Haut-Brion hvid er simpelthen hinsides godt og ondt, når det gælder kommaer.

2022 vil gå over i historien som en fremragende årgang med hensyn til kvalitet. Og det på trods af, at det var den tørreste sommer i Frankrig, siden man begyndte at registrere den, og det varmeste år i det hele taget siden 1947.

Til årsrapporten

Suckling om: Domaine de Chevalier blanc

Very complex aromas of pears, persimmons, honey and cooked apples. Mineral undertones. Always subtle and multidimensional. Full-bodied with a tight and dense middle palate that gives a superb mouthfeel. It's lively and flavorful at the end but in a reserved way. Just a hint of bitter lemon and lilac. I really want to drink this, but give it three or four years to reach the right place.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Domaine de Chevalier blanc

Based on 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon that spent nine months in barrel, the 2022 Domaine De Chevalier Blanc is a brilliant white revealing a vivid gold hue as well as bright citrus, crushed stone, mint, and honeysuckle-driven nuances. Pure, focused, and elegant, it has remarkable balance, integrated acidity, medium to full body, and a beautifully layered texture. It should evolve beautifully for 20+ years.

Galloni om: Domaine de Chevalier blanc

The 2022 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is quite dense on the palate. Pear, apricot, spice, white flowers and lightly honeyed notes build in the glass. Even in this brutally warm year, the Blanc retains a good bit of energy. As readers know, the Blanc is a rare white that demands cellaring to be at its very best. Its age-worthiness will be measured in decades. Tasted three times.

The Wine Palate om: Domaine de Chevalier blanc

Intense, Bold, Citrus Fruit, Lemon, Cedar, White Blossoms, Medium bodied, Refreshing Acidity, Notable Oak, Satiny Texture, Youthful. It sails out of the glass with bright, vivacious notes of waxed lemons, fresh grapefruit, and yellow apples, leading to hints of elderflower, cedar, and honeysuckle. The medium-bodied palate delivers a wonderfully satiny texture with a racy line cutting through the intense citrus and orchard fruit layers, finishing long and fragrant.

Jeff Leve om: Domaine de Chevalier blanc

Squeeze grapefruits over crushed rocks, and you get the idea of the perfume. The palate is packed with all the sweet, juicy, ripe pineapples, Granny Smith apples, tangerine skins, pomelo, and honeysuckle you could ask for. The wine provides the perfect blend of fresh, juicy citrus, sweetness, lift and creaminess. Drink this young for its youthful exuberance, or age it a few years for more secondary development. The wine blends 70% Sauvignon Blanc with 30% Semillon, 13.8% ABV, 3.28 pH. The harvest took place August 26 - September 5. Drink from 2025-2037. 96/100
