Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, Pessac-Leognan, France 2016 Vacqueyras Tasted at the Cru BourgeoisStill very shy on the nose, but the candied citrus, fresh melon, pear and quince notes come through on the palate, together with discreet, toasty oak. Although this is really concentrated, the power is underplayed and the enormous, herbal and mineral depth steals up on you slowly and then whisks you away. You could enjoy it now, but theres enormous aging potential. A blend of 70 per cent sauvignon and 30 per cent semillon. 98 Pts James Suckling
