2020 Domaine de Chevalier blanc

Starting in 1983, when he took over management of Domaine de Chevalier, Olivier Bernard and his team gradually introduced a winemaking philosophy revolving around balance. This guides every step of viticulture and winemaking, as does respecting the purity of the fruit and gentle extraction in keeping with the terroir and vintage character... The fundamental qualities of the Domaine de Chevalier terroir, its deeply rooted old vines, their very precise methods of plot viticulture, mainly organic and biodynamic, give a greater dimension to the natural expression of their wines.

Very good aging potential.
