🏰 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc 1997, a highly admired dry white Bordeaux, offers purity, tension, and outstanding aromatic depth from a well-regarded vintage. This wine presents a light golden color, with a gorgeous nose of waxy pears, a touch of honey, and vibrant citrus. The palate has a bit of viscosity, with lots of pears, slight apricot/honey, and subtle vanilla. It is dry with good balance and acidity, offering lots of depth and a long finish. 🍴 This versatile white Bordeaux is perfect with all types of seafood, fish, shellfish, crab, lobster, chicken, veal, pork, and a myriad of hard and soft cheeses. Consider roast quail with lemon and thyme, buttery lobster, or a goat cheese tart with honey. For an Asian pairing, try it with steamed crab, pan-fried sole, or a delicate chicken and mushroom stir-fry. 🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated dinner, a special occasion, or as a thoughtful gift for a white Bordeaux enthusiast. This venerable 1997 vintage promises a delightful journey into the past, offering a glimpse of Bordeaux Blanc in its mature glory. Remember to handle the old cork and capsule with care.
