2007 Domaine de Chevalier Pessac Leognan Blanc
LOW ACIDITY
One must realize that Bordeaux Blanc usually has much lower acidity than white burgundies, this is the way to identify them.
Nose of very slightly oxidized, quite shut, aged tobacco and slightly waxy.
Palate was soft and mellow, initially opened up at mid to back palate but subsequent pours started to open up at the front palate. It has a layer of wax and saltiness, and the most obvious giveaway was the low acidity.
Heard Parker gave a 96 points but I'd vigorously disagree on the score.
