Domaine de Chevalier Blanc 2002 - 75cl bt

Greenish straw. Positively full and honeyed on the nose then markedly mineral Sauvignon. Quite intriguing. Still astringent on the finish but an ambitious wine that deserves bottle age. Quite long already. A fine, by which I mean fine-boned, alternative to Sancerre! (Though having seen what it is, I realise Sancerre will always be less expensive.) Jancis Robinson

score: 17 / 20
