品飲筆記：騎士白2019呈淡檸檬光澤，先是清新的檸檬皮與青蘋果香，再漸展白桃、橘皮與一抹蜂蜜花香；橡木帶來柔和的香草與羊脂感，礫石般的礦質和一絲海鹽味把尾韻拉得很長。口感豐滿奶油感與活潑酸度並存，結構緊緻、層次豐富。 酒莊背景：位於Léognan的經典酒莊，歷史可回溯至18世紀，1983年由Bernard家族接手，現由Olivier Bernard掌舵。騎士白長期被視為波爾多頂級乾白之一，風格穩健追求平衡與細緻。 釀造與田間：人工分箱採摘，分批收穫以取得最佳成熟度；葡萄在桶中低溫沉澱後進行桶發酵，接著以35%新橡木桶熟成18個月，同時定期攪桶（bâtonnage）以豐富酒體與質感。葡萄園立於礫石砾層，排水良好，靠近海岸的微氣候帶來清爽酸度與鹹感，使酒既有厚實口感又保留清晰輪廓。 品飲建議：建議開瓶醒30至60分鐘後飲用，或與奶油燉雞、帶奶油的海鮮、松露燉飯和成熟硬質乳酪搭配，表現最佳。
Tasting Note: Pale lemon with silver highlights, the 2019 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc opens with citrus zest, green apple and white peach, edged by honeysuckle and subtle tropical orange. Integrated oak contributes gentle vanilla and lanolin notes while a pronounced flinty minerality and a saline thread carry the finish. On the palate it is creamy yet lively—concentrated fruit framed by vibrant acidity and a long, finely textured finish. Producer Notes: A classified estate in Léognan with roots back to the 18th century, Domaine de Chevalier has been owned by the Bernard family since 1983 and is guided by Olivier Bernard’s pursuit of balance and precision. The white cuvée is celebrated as one of the world’s great dry whites. Winemaking Notes: Grapes are hand‑picked into small crates and harvested in multiple passes to reach optimum ripeness. After traditional cold settling in barrels, fermentation takes place in oak. The wine ages 18 months in barrels (35% new) with regular bâtonnage to build texture and complexity. Vineyard Notes: Graves gravel soils around Léognan lend stony minerality and excellent drainage; a coastal influence brings freshness and saline notes. Low yields and rigorous vineyard work favour concentrated, finely delineated fruit that ages exceptionally well.
