  This is a clear light yellow colored wine. It has a floral nose. There's a complex mix of elderflower, green apple, lemon/lime, gunflint, and coconut on the harmonious palate. The structure is consistent and the consistency is silky. This is a medium bodied wine with balanced acidity. The finish is very clean. This is a good example of a textbook varietal Bordeaux - one of the best Bordeaux Blanc's indeed.

  Key lime, toast, orange creamsicle, freshly-sanded cedar, vanilla, baking spice, pineapple, passionfruit, guava, bread dough, and just a hint of mostly-dried lawn clippings. High acid yet rounded creamy texture. Oak is clearly present, but not overpowering. High complexity. Long finish. Outstanding. Delicious. Tasted next to Mount Mary Triolet 2018 (also high-quality), and the Chevalier shined especially bright. Recently tasted the 2012 Chevalier, which barely showed signs of aging. The 2020 will probably continue to improve, gaining complexity through 2037, and likely well beyond.

  (70% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sémillon, 13.5% Alkohol) Mittleres Goldgelb. Tiefgründige und komplex, reife Zitrusfrüchte, Honig, weisse Blüten, Ananas und Mango. Im Auftakt frisch, sehr cremige Textur, ungemein frisch und mit sensationeller Struktur, schon jetzt ein Gedicht, jedoch mit grossen Reserven. Ein saftiger, dichter Wein, der zum besten gehört, was in diesem Jahr an Weisswesin produziert worden ist. bis 2034+ (Januar 2024)

  This is a beautiful rich and floral white wine, full bodied—a kind of wonderful version of NZ Sauvignon Blanc except with better balance, structure and interest. It’s not quite as good as Smith-Haute Lafite’s white from the same region, but it’s very good.

  I know this wine. It’s kind of wound up but still very complex. Let it air out, don’t drink it too cold unless you’re having oysters and if you have some, hold ‘em. Will drink second bottle in 5 years.
