2006 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux

The 2006 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc just blew every other white we tasted out of the water. Made from 87% Sémillon and 13% Sauvignon Blanc, the perfect climate conditions have helped create an absolute gem. Wonderful harmony and elegance mark the wine; white peach, passion fruit, citrus and cream combine in a glorious, pure, racy style, while the minerality is reminiscent of Burgundy’s superstars Coche-Dury and Leflaive. The nose is creamy, pure and expressive, while the sleek, exotic palate builds in the mouth to a stunning finish. This is the white wine of the vintage, without a shadow of doubt.
