When the white is the wine more sought after

Mention a Bordeaux chateau and you naturally think of its red wine. But Bordeaux is not limited to red wines and some of their white wines are equally sought after. Oh, I don't mean the sweet wines of Sauternes and Barsac, but the dry white wines. Graves is the area known for its dry white Bordeaux and the inner zone of Pessac-Leognan is even more famous.

Some estates are as well known for their whites as their reds, but for Domaine de Chevalier it is the white which is more sought after (and more expensive). Now we have of course Haut Brion Blanc, but this wine is not widely known. As a first growth of Bordeaux, the red wines of Haut Brion are prestigious enough already. The lesser known white is made in tiny quantities and is greatly sought after, making its price at least double that of the red.
