Domaine de Chevalier is located in a clearing in the middle of a forest that protects the vines from extremes of temperature. In fact, Chevalier is a sort of secret garden, far from the limelight. This is something of a paradox for such an excellent wine, among the greatest in Bordeaux . Only a great terroir can produce a great wine... I often start out with these words when speaking about Domaine de Chevalier. They convey our fundamental philosophy, not only with regard to viticulture, but also the spirit that pervades the estate, and the men and women who work here. They improve their already considerable skills year after year on behalf of that which is most essential to a fine wine in my opinion — balance. – Description from dvoristanac

A beautiful nose, dark fruits, tea and spices, a tad of integrated oak, coats the mouth well, nice mid palate and length. Has nice acidity and tannins that are silk and firm. This wine is well crafted, and often a true pleasure.

Stunning. Pours a nice golden colour but has richness you would expect from White Burgundy. The freshness of the Sauvignon Blanc added with the sweetness of Semillon is beautiful with subtle hints of peach, melon and apple.

    I'm planning a wine tasting of Botrytis wines and would like some non- sweet pairing suggestions. There was a post about a year ago on Tokaji pairing that had a few good ideas, such as, blue cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and foie gras. I'm looking for more of those types of suggestions from some of the foodie Snooths.  Read More

This Domaine de Chevalier 2008 has less of that vanilla cream-oak than the 06, and for the better. The tobacco and tar start to unfold after the third hour.
