This is everything I feel uneasy about Bordeaux white. We can, and you can see, better than this,. Unfortunately I've another bottle purchased today.

Funk and cat markings initially, later white rose, ginkgo and olive oil with artichoke and lemon zest; a sticky floral note like a predatory plant's lure. Medium heavy mouthfeel with depth turns chewy, then lightens with a sluice of lemon juice and water cutting through the lipids, then emerging chalky and metallic and oh so clean with a minerality that won't quit! Stellar third tier wine from a first class producer!!! #domainedechevalier #whitebordeaux #frenchwine #ClosdeLunes #whitewine

Drank 2/24/17 With Seafood Risotto
Pleasant nose of lemon, peach, and a slight undertone of honeyed apricot. Palate of white peach and a hint of citrus. Nice but not overpowering acidity. Light to medium body with a touch of creaminess from the oak influence. Excellent balance with a medium finish.
3/22/8/5/3 + 50 = 91 pts. Drink now.

Perfectly balanced white Bordeaux, with a great nose filled with peaches, and complex fruit flavors. An exceptional value.

Tastes like a Sauvignon blanc. Delicious and fruity.

Nice nose. In the mouth still high acidity. Needs time...

Super tart almost to the point of bitterness. Undrinkable for me! Never to buy or drink this again.
