2024 l'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2024 Esprit de Chevalier Blanc is based on 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, brought up in equal parts new, once-used, and twice-used barrels. It's pure, clean, and lively, with aromas of crushed stone, citrus, stone fruits, and subtle minty herbs. Medium-bodied and fresh on the palate, it has a solid spine of acidity and outstanding length.

Needs a little swirling to unlock scents of fresh grapefruit and yuzu zest, followed by hints of crushed stones and dill seed. The light-bodied palate is crisp and vibrant with citrusy layers and a spicy lift on the finish.
