“The 2025 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is my pick for the best white wine of the vintage! ~ Vinous”
“A dense and powerful wine with a precise, structured texture. Subtle, lively, and elegant. A finish that lingers for several minutes. Remarkable intensity. A radiant, brilliant white wine. Striking balance. Alcohol content: 13.5%. A blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon. ” (James Suckling 2026)

Rated estate (2021 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the estate:
This is a property cherished by all, featuring a superb, contiguous vineyard surrounding the château—one of the best-cultivated in the Bordeaux region. Olivier Bernard is a tireless ambassador for Bordeaux wines around the world. He is also one of those who knows the value of his product most intimately, thanks to daily tastings with the estate’s countless visitors—the estate having been a pioneer in welcoming the public. The whites are the most refined in the appellation, while the reds are paragons of Bordeaux classicism in their balance and flavor. The latest reds are particularly impressive for their added body and complexity. Beautiful nuances, tension, and energy define the white “Esprit-de-Chevalier,” which perfectly embodies the essence of a great wine. The 2016, 2017, and 2018 vintages—both reds and whites—are simply at their peak; the estate richly deserves a 5-star rating.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Since 1983, the Bernard family has spared no effort to keep this beautiful estate among the appellation’s top producers. Thanks to state-of-the-art equipment and a vineyard that has now reached the age necessary to produce exceptional grapes, the wines are impeccable—both white and red. The vineyard, located in one of the appellation’s cooler areas on the edge of the Landes Forest, is tended like a garden. The white grapes are sorted with extreme care, and the winemaking process has become considerably more sophisticated, without altering the style or class of this highly regarded wine. Chevalier embodies finesse and elegance, without compromising its aging potential.

About the wine:
The 2025 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc wins my vote for the title of best white wine of the vintage. Rich and powerful on the nose, yet also beautifully lively, the 2025 captivates from start to finish. Candied lemon, pear, slate, mint, white flowers, and mandarin zest are among the many aromas and flavors that unfold over time. The 2025 is simply breathtaking. Not to be missed! 2035–2075
