Enquire about availabilityThis wine has closed down since I saw it prior to bottling. A blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon from one of the great estates in Pessac-Leognan, the wine has notes of white currants, melon, and flint/crushed rock with a delicate hit of orange and lemon zest. Give it another 4-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the following three decades.
Domaine De Chevalier Blanc is a prestigious white wine from Pessac-Léognan, one of Bordeaux's most esteemed appellations. This elegant blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc showcases the distinctive terroir of the Left Bank, where gravelly soils and a temperate maritime climate create ideal conditions for producing refined, age-worthy whites. The estate's commitment to quality and traditional winemaking methods results in a wine of remarkable complexity and finesse.
The wine displays a harmonious balance between the richness of Semillon and the crisp minerality of Sauvignon Blanc, delivering a fresh, sophisticated expression of its origin. Its characteristic mineral structure and vibrant acidity make it exceptionally versatile at the table. Pair with shellfish and lobster for a classic pairing, or enjoy alongside white fish, poultry, and fresh herb-driven dishes. Goat cheese and pasta preparations also complement this wine beautifully, making it an ideal choice for fine dining and elegant entertaining.
