Tasting Notes

Pure and fresh, the nose offers an alluringly lively, refined and complex expression. Racy and seductive, the bouquet blends fruity (vine peach) and floral (hawthorn, lime blossom, acacia flower) fragrances with notes of citrus zest and also a saline (quartz, gunflint) expression, a typical feature of gravelly soils. Elegant and balanced, the palate harmoniously blends density and delicacy with a silky feel. Freshness and a beautiful aromatic purity lead to a refined and persistent finish.

Press Review

"Matured for nine months in barrels, the 2021 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc possesses a floral, elegant bouquet with aromas of verbena, lime tree leaves, spring flowers, pear and peach intertwined with nutmeg hints. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and juicy, it’s seamless and broad, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. It’s tenser and more vibrant than the 2022 counterpart. Drink 2023-2030."

Press Review 2

"Refined and complex nose with a touch of cream and mineral to the salted lemons, chalk and gooseberries. Bright and fluid on the palate with a medium body and a pure, zesty finish. Long, bright and dissolved. 60% sauvignon and 40% semillon. Lovely now, but can hold, too."
94/100 James Suckling
