DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER BLANC – A Grand Cru of Unrivalled Elegance

The Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is a benchmark for top-tier dry white Bordeaux, a Cru Classé de Graves renowned for its extraordinary finesse and capacity to age for decades. Located in Pessac-Léognan, the estate’s unique gravel terroir produces a wine of remarkable purity and depth that is a must-have for any serious cellar.

Sommelier’s Tasting Profile

• **Appearance:** Brilliant pale gold with a youthful sheen.
• **Aroma:** Highly complex, featuring layered scents of ripe lemon zest, pomelo, white flowers, and honeyed apricot, underpinned by subtle new oak spice and a refreshing crushed-stone minerality.
• **Taste:** Full-bodied yet impeccably balanced, offering a creamy texture (due to its Sémillon component and barrel ageing) carried by a bright, persistent acidity. The long, refined finish confirms its status as an age-worthy classic.

Food Pairing & Serving Advice

This is a wine for celebration and fine dining. Decanting is recommended for younger vintages. Serve cool, 10°C-12°C.

• **Classic Pairings:** Grilled Dover Sole, Potted Shrimp, Smoked Salmon Paté, or mature Comté cheese.
