Description
Located in Léognan, the capital of the Graves region, the Domaine de Chevalier is of very ancient origin. It is represented in 1783 on the map of Pierre de Belleyme, the engineer geographer of Louis XVI.
In 1983, the property was acquired by the Bernard family, the leading French brandy producers and major Bordeaux wine merchants. Since then, it has been managed by Olivier Bernard and his team. Under his aegis, the spirit of balance and the quest for perfection that has marked the production of this excellent wine for 140 years is perpetuated.
Domaine de Chevalier blanc is recognised as one of the world's greatest dry white wines

Tasting
Beautiful pale gold colour full of vivacity.
Very clean, intense and complex nose. Fresh fruit dominates with notes of citrus, vine peach, fresh pineapple and acacia flower. The mineral, mentholated and smoky notes are delicately expressed.
On the palate, the wine is full, unctuous, driven by the acidity of the fruit and the gravelly soil. Superbly fruity. The great richness of this wine is pulpy, leaving an impression of sweetness and delicacy, balanced by balanced by the acidity in a great freshness.
This wine is very long, precise, fair, straight and balanced. Great purity and great class
