Domaine De Chevalier Blanc 2009 (750ML)

97 JS / 95+ WA

This is very dense and powerful, reminds me of the 2005 but it has more structure and acidity. Its a blockbuster with a huge finish, Grand Cru Burgundy style. Fresh and massive. Barrel sample. James Suckling

This wine has closed down since I saw it prior to bottling. A blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon from one of the great estates in Pessac-Leognan, the wine has notes of white currants, melon, and flint/crushed rock with a delicate hit of orange and lemon zest. Give it another 4-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the following three decades. Robert Parker
