97 DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER 2007 :
Wonderfully aromatic, this white wine offers richness, ripeness and pure yellow fruits - peaches, and apricots- alongside a more severe strain of minerality or chalkiness. It is a wine meant for a long aging, the wood spice just becoming integrated, the fruit still in its first vibrancy. But even now, it fills the mouth with generous fruits and a great finish of lemon juice fruits and an great finish of lemon juice. Cellar Selection.
91 ESPRIT DE CHEVALIER 2007 :
Chevalier's second white wine reflects some of the glory of the first. It has a Sauvignon-dominated flavor, certainly with herbaceousness. But the fruit is ripe, full in the mouth, a teasing combination of green fruits, kiwi fruit and wonderfull juiciness. With its edge of minerality, it could age for 2-3 years.
Le Wine Spectator note Domaine de Chevalier 2008 primeur
Very perfumed, with sweet tobacco and dark fruits. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Racy and beautiful. Very fine. —J.S.
Very appley and melony, with hints of lemon and honey. Full-bodied, with very crisp, bright acidity and notes of green apple. Superlively and minerally.
Tight and racy. Powerful. —J.S.
Very fresh and clean, with mineral and apple and a hint of melon. Medium- to full-bodied, with very tangy acidity. —J.S.
This shows wonderful spicy botrytis, tarte Tatin and dried pineapple aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with lots of spicy and sweet character.
Long and flavorful. Very fine and beautiful. —J.S.
