The Domaine de Chevalier 2018 Blanc, a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon, offers a wonderful perfume of ripe pears, grapefruit, mandarin peel and lemongrass, lime blossom and beeswax. The medium to full-bodied palate has an enticing opulence, delivering layers of citrus, pear and floral-inspired flavors with a satiny texture and seamless freshness, long ending with a spicy kick. It currently makes for a complex, decadently delicious wine, but bottle it for 4-5 years to get even more savory/roasty layers and drink it for the next 10-12 years or even longer. The 2018 is one of the most beautiful vintages of this white topper.
