2006 Domaine de Chevalier, Blanc Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan

Colour: White
Vintage: 2006
Region: Bordeaux, Pessac-Leognan
% Alcohol: 13.50

One of the finest and best value estates in all of Bordeaux, Domaine de Chevalier has long produced exceptional wines: their red delivers masses of dense, well-structured Pessac character at a fantastic price. Domaine de Chevalier is one large vineyard estate that can be divided into almost 100 sub plots, all with their own characteristics due to the complexity of soils and naturally gentle rise-and-fall of the landscape – which also benefits from the temperature-regulating effects of the surrounding forests. From these picturesque vineyards to the south of the city Domaine de Chevalier produces red and white wines which make them a leading light in Bordeaux. They have also remained very reasonably priced – while continuing to achieve excellent ratings. Along with Grand Puy Lacoste, it is one of our go-to, great value clarets. Whilst their wines can be approachable relatively young, they have the structure and stuffing to age superbly for decades.

Tasting Notes and Scores

94+ RMPJ

An absolutely textbook great white Graves made from 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon and aged nine months on its lees, this is a prodigious effort displaying notes of white flowers, currants, honeyed citrus, fig, and crushed rocks. The wine is very pure, with full body and high acidity, in a backward, almost tannic style. Give this wine at least 8-10 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 30 years.

(87% sauvignon blanc and 13% semillon) Pale, bright yellow. Exuberant aromas of citrus zest, chlorophyll and mint. Juicy, sappy and fresh, with fruit-driven flavors of lemon, apple, minerals, spices, nut butter and mint. Very intensely flavored and dominated by the sauvignon today. Offers terrific penetration and cut. The sauvignon blanc here was harvested with 14% potential alcohol but unusually high acidity of 5.5 grams per liter, notes Edange. (In ripe years here, the acidity is normally between 3.5 and 4.0 grams.) "Our white wine is usually in a Chevalier-Montrachet style, like the 2005," said Edange. "In 2006 it's more like Corton-Charlemagne, and the wine was very aromatic from the beginning." A good portion of the fruit was picked during hot, dry weather in early September. This should enjoy a very long life in bottle.
