2021 Domaine de Chevalier, Grand Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan Blanc

Domaine de Chevalier has produced a masterpiece of tension and saline minerality in a vintage that truly favored white wines. The 2021 is 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, and it's absolute proof that White Bordeaux stands toe-to-toe with the greatest white wines on earth. Built for the cellar, it will age just as long as the region's legendary reds, slowly transforming from vibrant citrus oil and crushed rocks into rich, honeyed complexity. Picture this bottle next to a plate of buttery escargot... just make sure you don't serve the wine too cold.
