Domaine de Chevalier Blanc 2025 - Grand Cru Classé - Pessac-Léognan

Nyhed En primeur
Beskrivelse

Den hvide Chevalier
Domaine de Chevalier Blanc er en af de hvide Bordeaux-vine, der kan bære store ord. Ejendommen ligger i Léognan, med rødder tilbage til 1783, og har siden 1983 været ejet af Bernard-familien. Under Olivier Bernard har slottet holdt fast i en stil, hvor hvid Pessac-Léognan ikke handler om volumen alene, men om spænding, præcision og evnen til at ældes med værdighed.

2025 er 70% Sauvignon Blanc og 30% Sémillon, høstet fra 25. august til 6. september. Producentens egen note beskriver mirabelle, fersken, citrus, bredde, rigdom og spænding, men det afgørende er, at friskheden ifølge materialet holder vinen samlet. Det er netop den balance, de stærkeste anmeldere griber fat i.

Galloni kalder Domaine de Chevalier Blanc 2025 for sin kandidat til årgangens bedste hvide vin. Han beskriver en rig og kraftfuld vin, men også en vibrerende, med citronconfit, pære, skifer, mynte, hvide blomster og mandarinskal. Suckling placerer den i samme topfelt, men med en anden præcision: stram, kraftfuld, stålsat, racet og med en struktureret tekstur, der ifølge ham varer i minutter. Anson er mere nøgtern i sin begejstring, men hendes pointe er lige så klar: flintet, skulpturel citrus og pære, og et hvidvinsarbejde på ejendommen der nu har været målrettet i et årti, blandt andet ved at placere de hvide druer på de køligste dele af ejendommen.

Neal Martin er mere tilbageholdende og finder vinen reserveret på dette stadie, med pære, ingefær og citronskal, men han antyder også, at den først vil vise sin egentlige identitet efter aftapning. Det er ikke en dårlig advarsel. Domaine de Chevalier Blanc er sjældent en vin, der bør dømmes på umiddelbarhed.

    A tight and powerful wine with a precise and structured texture. Restrained, steely and racy. Goes on for minutes. So much intensity. A bright and shining white. Stunning balance. Alcohol 13.5%. A blend of 70% sauvignon blanc and 30% semillon.

    The 2025 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc gets my vote for the white wine of the vintage. Rich and powerful in the glass, but also beautifully vibrant, the 2025 dazzles from start to finish. Lemon confit, pear, slate, mint, white flowers and tangerine peel are some of the many aromas and flavors that develop over time. The 2025 is quite simply stunning. Don’t miss it!

    Straight from the first nose this is clearly one of the whites of the vintage. The most beautifully flinty and sculpted citrus and pear. Harvest August 25 to September 6. 33% new oak. In organic conversion. It's now been a decade of vineyard work to ensure that the white grapes are in the coolest part of the estate, and ageing takes place in a variety of differently sized barrels, with plenty of lees work that changes every year - so in 2024 they stirred through the December, this year only October because the richness was already there. In a word, they know what they are doing and you can rest easy.
