Domaine de Chevalier Blanc 2006 is a mature Graves Grand Cru Classé white blend from the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux. Produced mainly from barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc with a smaller percentage of Semillon, Domaine de Chevalier`s white cuvée is one of the most highly rated white wines in Bordeaux. "This is a strong vintage for Bordeaux’s dry white wines, probably as good or better than 2005. Crisp acidity combined with outstanding concentration and the fact that most of the white grapes were harvested before the rains began in mid-September resulted in an impressive group of wines." Wine Advocate, 2009
92 Vinous
Pale, green-tinged color. Sexy aromas of ripe fresh peach and apricot lifted by grapefruit and chlorophyll. Sappy and sweet, but almost gentle after the young 2007 despite its vibrant flavors of crystallized lemon peel and pungent chlorophyll. Finishes very fresh and long, with impressive energy. Owner Olivier Bernard describes this wine as more classic and vivid than the 2007, which he believes has more volume, structure and power, but also more generosity of texture. This will be a spectacular pair of vintages to compare over the next two or three decades.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2008
