The richness and complexity of a fine Pessac-Leognan white wine
The producer
Owned by the Bernard family since 1983, the beautiful Domaine de Chevalier is one of the finest Bordeaux Crus Classes. Like a secret garden, this iconic vineyard located in the Pessac-Leognan appellation, to the south of Bordeaux, is surrounded by a green haven.
The vineyard
Domaine de Chevalier watches over a rare vineyard comprising 5 hectares of white vines. A true patchwork of terroirs, the Domaine de Chevalier vineyard is composed of black sand and fine white gravel soil and rests on a perfectly drained clay-gravel subsoil.
The vinification and aging
The grapes are harvested by hand, followed by successive selections based on their ripeness level. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in barrels, as is the 18-month aging period (1/3 new barrels), with regular stirring of the lees.
The blend
The 2013 Domaine de Chevalier dry white wine comprises a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (70%) and Semillon (30%).
The tasting
Color
Bright, this wine is a pale gold color with subtle green highlights.
Nose
Explosive, the nose exudes citrus and fresh fruit fragrances (vine peach, exotic fruit) with a delicious minerality.
Palate
The palate harmoniously combines both tension and intensity with a delicious and refreshing fruity expression.
Storage
This fine Pessac-Leognan white wine can be kept in the cellar until around 2030 in order to reveal its full aromatic richness.
