Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

L'Esprit de Chevalier, Blanc, 2022

ABV:

12.5%

90-92/100

Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

The 2022 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc, 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon, charges out with zesty notions of lemon tart, lime cordial, and Granny Smith apples, giving way to wild thyme and chalky hints. The medium-bodied palate is crisp and wonderfully pure, with fantastic tension and a chalky finish. pH 3.24.

Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2022 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc has a well-defined bouquet with lemon zest, freshly-sliced pear and orange rind. Good complexity for a Deuxième Vin. The palate is well balanced with a pithy entry, peach skin and lemongrass touches. The 2022 is complex and focused with a fine persistence on the finish. This is a strong showing in a vintage, not necessarily geared toward the dry whites.

Domaine de Chevalier

Olivier Bernard's extensive project at Domaine de Chevalier has really come to fruition. After a bold and not to mention expensive re-planting program throughout the `80s and then a decade and a half of patience for the vines to gain maturity, we can really see the benefits. 2005, 2008, 2009 and now 2010 rank amongst the very best wines produced in this sprawling commune. Powerful but graceful, true to their terroir, and just so enjoyable to drink; this has become one of our 'must buy' estates. Olivier's wines offer 'super second' class at relatively affordable prices.
