Critic reviews
"The 2023 Blanc from Domaine de Chevalier ranks among the finest white wines produced in Bordeaux this vintage. Revealing aromas of spices, flowers, anise and fresh licorice, with oak rendered all but imperceptible, it is concentrated and structured, offering terrific depth at the core, racy acids and a mineral, saline and perfumed finish. The élevage here has elevated the wine rather than obscured it. Kudos!"

"The 2023 Alter Ego, bottled late July, takes a few swirls of the glass to cohere, but offers quite enticing scents of blueberry, violet, blood orange and vanilla. Very fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet black cherries and blackcurrant laced with black pepper. Gentle grip with just a touch of bitterness that lends tension. This sample was decanted, which I feel benefited its showing."

"The 2023 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is dense, powerful and quite substantial. Naturally, it needs time in bottle, as all vintages do at this address. Hints of marzipan, lemon confit, tangerine oil and white truffle begin to emerge over time, filling out layers that resonate effortlessly from start to finish. The 2023 is both radiant and quite fresh. In that sense, it very much embodies the style of this vintage. Tasted three times."

"The class and purity of this benchmark white Bordeaux comes through clearly, with aromas of sliced Asian pears, green apples, stones and undertones of iodine and oyster shells. Linear and bright, with verve and focus. 70% sauvignon blanc and 30% semillon. Drinkable now, but better in 2028."
