Reticent on the nose, with faint aromas of lime and cut grass emerging. The palate lacks a bit of poise. Minerally, gravelly. I would like a bit more vigor but I am sure this will come after bottling. Tasted April 2005.

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.
