Wine Critic Reviews
Another terrific vintage for this wine, the 2020 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc unwinds in the glass with aromas of nectarine, pear, nutmeg, passionflower and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, with racy acids and a bright, pure profile, it nips at the heels of the brilliant and somewhat racier, more refined 2019.

The 2020 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc offers peaches and cream on the nose, quite opulent compared to its peers, yet it seems to gain more control and delineation with aeration. The oak appears to be well-integrated. The palate is well balanced but doesn't quite match the caliber of the aromatics, tapering slightly toward the finish. Does this have more to give? It’s very fine, if not the best that I believe Olivier Bernard has overseen. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
