  At this price it’s my favorite Bordeaux Blanc ever.
  At ten years old it is wonderful

  This is a most delicious white Bordeaux and at $20 the deal of the century.
  It’s a tad too acidic at 10 years age. But delicious

  More mature and enjoyable than the bottle tasted in 2016; nose, apricots, grapefruits, lemons, pineapples, popcorns, and yellow flowers; palate, much reduced acidity but still quite noticeable, honey, grapefruits, orange peels, minerals, whipped cream, and some precious wood spices; finish, fruity and long; overall, 92-93 points at this stage; still some more years to go before its peak.

  This may truly be the best white Bordeaux I've had - incredible depth and length, acid lifts the fruit just perfectly, the waxy nature of the semillon plays gorgeously with the mineral and acidity and the citrus from the sauvignon. The finish is well over a minute in length, and is a mix of mineral, sea water, and lemon. It does not seem to have much oak and probably did not go fully malolactic. I've tasted the first growths - and they don't hold a candle to this wine in complexity and purity and beauty.

  This was opened last minute as a Plan B wine about 1 hour before drinking when my first choice was corked.
  
  We drank it with two courses:
  a starter involving leek and asparagus;
  then roasted cod, octopus, scollop mousse, with potato and paprika and tomato
  
  Initially the nose and the palate were very muted, and it was rather acidic on the palate; it was clear that I hadn't given it enough air.
  
  Maybe 2.5 hours after opening (with no decanting) the fruit (as you would expect for a 70% semillon wine) started to come to the fore more and the acidity moderated somewhat. It became a decent wine.
  
  But even so, I had higher expectations of a wine produced by Domaine de Chevalier (albeit a Bordeaux appelation, so from grapes from all over). I found nothing noteworthy here and it's 50% more expensive than other palatable but not noteworthy white bordeauxs.
