White wine dry
The white Domaine de Chevalier is recognized as one of the world’s finest dry wines. The grapes comes from 7ha vineyards grown on gravel-clay soils. Hand-picked harvest. Fermentation was in barrels. Age also in barrels for 18 months (35% new oak) with bâtonnage (stirring the lees with a stick).
Complex precise and elegant nose, with aromas of vine peach, apricot, a great variety of exotic fruits (mango, lychee…) and white spring flowers (hawthorn, acacia, honeysuckle). The palate is wide, silky, concentrated and fresh with a creamy texture and a delicate fruity flesh. A charming and fine richness with a lot of persistency. Pronounced minerality and perfect balance between power, tension and freshness. Gorgeous delicacy on the finish. Great wine and great aging potential.
Serve at 10-12 °C with fish dishes, seafood, mushrooms and cheese.
