DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER BLANC – Bordeaux’s White Masterpiece

Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is consistently hailed as one of the world’s finest dry white wines, boasting an aging potential that rivals the best of Burgundy. Nestled in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan forest, this wine is a testament to the Bernard family’s dedication to purity, complexity, and excellence. A true collector’s item.

Tasting Notes (Expert Profile)

• **Color:** Bright, pale gold with subtle green reflections.
• **Nose:** A captivating and deep bouquet of ripe citrus (grapefruit, candied lemon), stone fruit (white peach, apricot), seamlessly integrated with notes of toasted hazelnut, vanilla, and a distinct chalky minerality.
• **Palate:** The entry is taut and precise, leading to a rich, creamy mid-palate that is beautifully balanced by a racy, energetic acidity. The finish is long, saline, and incredibly complex, showcasing the wine’s Grand Cru pedigree.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

This Cru Classé demands sophisticated cuisine. Serve slightly chilled, between 50°F and 54°F (10°C-12°C), to unlock its full aromatic potential.

• **Prime Pairings:** Pan-seared scallops, lobster, white truffle risotto, or rich, creamy poultry dishes.
