Domaine de Chevalier blanc 2004 (W.S.)
Offers lemon, fennel, light vanilla and cream, with a hint of candle wax. Full-bodied, with cream, milk and toasty oak and plenty of ripe fruit, but rather tight and subdued now. Needs a little bottle age. Best after 2010. 2,080 cases made. –JS
Score : 92.

Domaine de Chevalier blanc 2004 (N. M.) : 90
Tasted at the chateau. The 2004 has a stony, slightly smoky nose, lacing just a little focus although that may come with time. The palate is medium-bodied with good acidity, though lacking a little complexity on the second half. Quite Burgundian for a Domaine de Chevalier – I have a feeling this may improve with bottle age. Drink 2012-2020+ Tasted September 2008.

Revue du Vin de France (N° de Septembre 2007) : 18,5/20
Dans sa récente dégustation des 2004, la RVF a noté le Domaine de Chevalier Blanc 18,5/20 :
"Grande finesse de style, amers nobles en finale et registre complexe de grande longueur. L’une des plus belles bouteilles de la dégustation dans ce millésime. Pureté et esprit cristallin pour ce très grand vin."
