2021 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan

2021 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan

Tasted April 2022. Absolutely electric this year, one of our favourite wine this vintage. Intense and concentrated, and incredibly pure citrus and stone fruit flavours. Juicy and full in in texture, but with incredible zingy freshness cutting through like a knife. Taut and delicious, this will age beautifully.

Tasting notes

The 2021 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is a blend of 70% Sauvignon and 30% Sémillon that matured for 18 months in barrels, of which 35% were new. Delivering a deep, complex bouquet that features aromas of spices, white pepper, elderflower, citrus oil and wet stones, it's full-bodied, round and generous, with a satiny attack that segues into a fleshy, vibrant palate, concluding with a pure and precise finish.
