2024 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc

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.

Bright and lively, with a nice mineral twist to the creamed green kiwis, star fruit and gooseberries. Textured and medium-bodied, with a nice phenolic structure and a lightly saline touch at the end. Quite long. 70% sauvignon blanc and 30% semillon.

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. (05/2025)

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. (05/2025)

With a fresh and delicately fruity bouquet, the 2024 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc reveals aromas of confit citrus, flowers and almonds. Light to medium-bodied, round and supple, it's elegant with a juicy mid-palate that leads to a gently bitter finish. This is a real classic at this address.
