Vins Blancs
182 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan (L)
“The 2022 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is quite dense on the palate. Pear, apricot, spice, white flowers and lightly honeyed notes build in the glass. Even in this brutally warm year, the Blanc retains a good bit of energy. As readers know, the Blanc is a rare white that demands cellaring to be at its very best. Its age-worthiness will be measured in decades. Tasted three times.” 96 pts, Antonio Galloni, Vinous 272603 6 bottle limit $250
183 L’Esprit de Chevalier Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan “The 2022 L’Esprit de Chevalier Blanc reveals a pure, delicate bouquet of pear, peach, flowers, anise and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and satiny, it’s ample and concentrated, framed by delicate dry extracts and bright acids that segue into a long, fresh
and delicate finish. This is a real success.” 92 pts, Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate 332914
$75
184 Château Ferran Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan
“Fragrant white showing pears, lime curd, green peaches, nutmeg and thyme on the nose. Creamy, spicy and gently saline too, with a medium body and a bright and delicious finish. Drink now or hold.” 92 pts, James Suckling 249579 $50
