Inside Bordeaux
Enjoyable white pear and citrus fruits, and there is less gap overall between the two colours in Chevalier than in many wines, and also between 1st and 2nd wines. A real sign of their success.

The 2021 L’Esprit de Chevalier Blanc is a gorgeous dry white. Crushed flowers, mint, lemon peel and light tropical notes all run through this inviting, wonderfully nuanced second wine from Domaine de Chevalier. Bright acids and lifted floral accents perk up the delineated, nuanced finish.

The 2021 L’Esprit de Chevalier Blanc has tightly wound scents of pressed white flowers, orange blossom and a touch of citrus peel, all delivered with very fine delineation. The palate is well-balanced with a saline entry, good concentration and a twist of lemongrass toward the finish. Excellent.

The 2021 L’Esprit de Chevalier Blanc has a light, apple blossom- and citrus peel-scented nose, showing hints of white flower in the background. The palate is well-balanced with a keen line of acidity, malic in style, very fresh and sapid. Hints of orange rind emerge on the finish. Very fine.
