L'ESPRIT de CHEVALIER
Second white wine from Domaine de Chevalier
- 2024 Futures
- Pessac-Leognan white
Built on freshness and tension, and only slightly less vigorous than the Grand Vin, L'Esprit de Chevalier stands out from other second wines in the appellation thanks to its remarkable aromatic richness (green mango, citrus fruits, white peach, etc.). The production of a third wine undoubtedly plays a part in this.
Vinous (N. Martin): 91-93/100 "The 2024 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc has lilting peach skin and Japanese yuzu scents of good intensity and delineation. The palate is well balanced with just a dab of orange rind on the entry. Waxy-textured with zippy acidity, it is a little linear on the finish but this should gain depth during its élevage."
Vinous (A. Galloni): 88-90/100 "The 2024 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc is a tasty second wine. Pliant and supple, with lovely forward fruit, L'Esprit has a lot to offer. Bright floral top notes extend the fine, saline finish. This is all class."
