Domaine de Chevalier Pessac Léognan Cru Classé de Graves 2018

This is the wine that I opened the night the preview pages of my new website went live, which tells you that I consider it a special occasion wine, something to really sit back with and enjoy. Not only that, but I kept it in the fridge for a week, just having a glass every few days, and it delivered consistently through to the last drop, because there is structure and flesh to the lemon, white pear, lychee and freshly cut herb flavours, with oyster shell salinity. 30% new oak. 7ha of white grapes here, and one of the most consistenly ageable whites in Bordeaux. Harvesting always takes place over several trips through the vineyard with never more than 30% of the fruit picked at any one time.
