1966 birthday vertical at Domaine de Chevalier (Domaine de Chevalier - actually on 2 December 2016): A gorgeous Domaine de Chevalier fully overshadowed the two other dry white 1966s. Contoured and complex, with aromatics and flavors that included saffron, ripe grapefruit rind and lime, “very citrus” as Olivier Bernard said, but with a full-bodied mid palate giving off notions of stone fruit, which Jean Claude Berrouet sensed as well. Exotic notes like mango rounded out the flavors, nicely matched by the starter of shrimp and foie gras on a bed of … chopped mango.
