About the wine

Tasting notes

Luscious and rich with intense white fruit, hints of candied citrus, touches of spice and brilliant acidity. There's serious concentration, but it's deeply mineral, dry and wonderfully fresh...one word Extraordinary!

Expert review

The white of the vintage is the 2016 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, which comes from a high-density planting of 30-year-old vines located west and south of the town of Léognan. A blend of 75% Sauvignon and 25% Sémillon raised in 35% new barrels, it offers a massive bouquet of crushed citrus, salty minerality, white flowers, and grapefruit. Racy, full-bodied, concentrated and beautifully textured, it’s a brilliant wine that has more flesh and texture than the 2015 and will keep for two decades or more. Hats off to the team at Domaine de Chevalier for this brilliant, brilliant white! 99/100
