Very complex aromas of pears, persimmons, honey and cooked apples. Mineral undertones. Always subtle and multidimensional. Full-bodied with a tight and dense middle palate that gives a superb mouthfeel. It's lively and...

Juicy, fresh, sweet, dynamic, citrusy, and packed with layers of intense yellow, citrus, white peach, pineapples, green apples, vanilla and spice. The wine balances intensity with vibrancy, length, creamy, sensuous...

Vinous, January 2025

The 2022 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is quite dense on the palate. Pear, apricot, spice, white flowers and lightly honeyed notes build in the glass. Even in this brutally warm year, the Blanc retains a good bit of energy...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2025

The 2022 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc has turned out brilliantly in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, jasmine, white flowers, spring blossoms and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it's...

Wine Spectator, February 2025

This is lovely from the get-go, delivering a sensation of shimmering, wet pebbles, plus fresh thyme, oyster shell, quinine and Key lime zest notes that streak and glide at the same time. The long, unadorned finish hums...

Pineapple, honey, lemon, peach, lime - a lovely expression on the nose, fresh and fragrant, open and alive. Great depth of flavour and purity. Gorgeous depth and body, really fills the mouth with some bitterness that...

Always a white wine made with an eye on ageing, even in exuberant vintages like 2022. You feel it in the structure which is intense and concentrated but also understated, with plenty of fresh acidities, white mango and...

The Wine Independent, June 2025

This is a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon, and the élevage was in close to 40% new oak, for between 16 and 18 months. I like the powdery substance and intensity evident on the nose here, with crushed gravel...

The 2022 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, a Bordeaux Blanc from the Pessac Leognan region of France, is a standout white wine blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon. This vintage has received exceptional praise from wine critics, with James Suckling awarding it an impressive 99 points, highlighting its "very complex aromas of pears, persimmons, honey and cooked apples" and describing the wine as "subtle and multidimensional."

This wine is noted for its balance and complexity. According to Jeb Dunnuck, who gave it a score of 98, the wine has a "vivid gold hue" and presents "bright citrus, crushed stone, mint, and honeysuckle-driven nuances." He also commends its "remarkable balance" and predicts it will evolve beautifully over the next two decades.

Antonio Galloni of Vinous, who scored it 96 points, emphasizes the wine's density, noting flavors of "pear, apricot, spice, white flowers and lightly honeyed notes." He points out that despite the warmth of the year, the wine retains a significant amount of energy and suggests that it will benefit from cellaring.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also rates this wine at 95 points, with Yohan Castaing noting its "medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping" character, as well as its "bright acids" and "long, saline and mouthwatering finish."

This vintage is characterized by its freshness and concentration, as Jane Anson observes, describing it as having "plenty of fresh acidities" and "great quality." The wine's structure and balance are also highlighted by Decanter's review, which describes it as "fantastic, moreish and really complete," with a score of 94.

Overall, the 2022 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is celebrated for its vibrant acidity, complex flavors, and age-worthiness, making it a remarkable choice for white wine enthusiasts.
