Medium-bodied, juicy, straight and tense, it’s fresh and ethereal, concluding with subtle clove notes on the finish. It's a well-crafted and elegant rendition.

Lemon confit,The 2025 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc gets my vote for the white wine of the vintage. Rich and powerful in the glass, but also beautifully vibrant, the 2025 dazzles from start to finish. Lemon confit, pear, slate, mint, white flowers and tangerine peel are some of the many aromas and flavors that develop over time. The 2025 is quite simply stunning. Don’t miss it!

The 2025 Blanc de Lynch-Bages is terrific. This is the first year with some Sauvignon Gris. The 2025 offers a beguiling mix of textural richness and aromatic intensity. Pear, green apple and jasmineThe 2025 Blanc de Lynch-Bages is terrific. This is the first year with some Sauvignon Gris. The 2025 offers a beguiling mix of textural richness and aromatic intensity. Pear, green apple and jasmine open first, followed by light tropical overtones that lend an exotic flair. This was just bottled but is drinking very well today.

The 2025 Pavillon Blanc, which incidentally has existed since the 19th century, when they opted to separate the complanté white varieties, was picked between August 18 and 22 at 16 hl/ha. ItThe 2025 Pavillon Blanc, which incidentally has existed since the 19th century, when they opted to separate the complanté white varieties, was picked between August 18 and 22 at 16 hl/ha. It underwent less bâtonnage this year. It has an attractive bouquet with lifted orchard fruit, lanolin, white peach, quite discrete this year. The palate is well balanced, with a lovely tropical-tinged opening, from the warm summer, which is countered by the keen line of acidity. Gorgeous mouthfeel, lingering on the finish with hints of guava and lychee. Honestly, I don't think I would nail this as a pure Sauvignon Blanc blind, but absolutely delicious.

A blend of 53% Sauvignon Blanc and 47% Sémillon, and at this stage the two varieties seem to be battling for centre stage. The Sauvignon brings brightness, energy and drive, while the SémillonA blend of 53% Sauvignon Blanc and 47% Sémillon, and at this stage the two varieties seem to be battling for centre stage. The Sauvignon brings brightness, energy and drive, while the Sémillon counters with depth and texture. What impresses most is the tension between the two. Fresher and more tightly wound than many of its peers, the wine combines real intensity with a lithe, almost effortless sense of movement. There is plenty of concentration beneath the surface, but it remains coiled rather than expansive, the power held neatly in reserve. Vibrant, focused and full of energy, this is a wine that feels as though it has plenty more to reveal. A very smart effort indeed.L&S (Apr 2026)

The palate is well balanced and cohesive, with fine acidity, one of the most complex whites from this Pessac-Léognan estate that I have encountered, and it lingers on the saline finish. Bravo.

Dried pear, acacia, chamomile and white pepper open beautifully. The Blanc is quite delicate at first, but it gains breadth through the mid-palate and into the finish. Impeccable.
