Domaine de Chevalier 2005 Blanc (Chateau DIrect)

"Displays lemon, honey, mineral, fennel seed and lime aromas. Full-bodied, this fills the mouth with lime, apple tart and vanilla character. Very, very intense. Fantastic. Needs time to come together. The best white from this estate in a long time. Best after 2014. 2,080 cases made." -Wine Spectator, 97WS

It is rare that an estate can produce both world-class reds and whites – and Domaine de Chevalier is certainly a glowing example. From the acclaimed Grand Cru Classé property in Graves, this princely property in Pessac-Léognan is encircled by forests deep enough that visitors to the winery sometimes get lost on their way in. Formed in the latter half of the 19th century, it was acquired in 1983 by the Bernard family, and the charismatic Olivier Bernard quickly became the face of the estate and an agitator for change.

The estate’s white wine has long been a legendary cuvée – an elegant, opulent blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon partially aged in new oak barrels, achieving riveting cut and tension. Under Bernard, renovations to the cellar and vineyards have rocketed the reds to the elite upper reaches of the region as well. Today, it is an estate mentioned in the same breath as other top Graves producers, while the pricing remains extremely reasonable. Vinous’ Antonio Galloni has called it “one of the crown jewels of Bordeaux.”
