A thread on Facebook featuring Domaine de Chevalier Blanc has left me wondering about this category.
I recall an offline at that fish restaurant down in South London where I came to the conclusion that white Bordeaux had the capability of being extremely good, but I wasn't prepared to pay the prices.
Not sure if that has changed.
It does seem that there is the seriously good stuff (eg. DdC and Haut Brion, etc) and then there's a whole load of "pretty good" stuff (eg. Floridene). However, I got the impression that the latter category doesn't even pretend to do what the first does in the way that can happen in Burgundy (where one can see in a cheap wine, a poor attempt at emulating the greats).
Any views on this? Or suggestions of where the biggest bang for the buck at under £30 can be found?
