The 2022 L'Esprit De Chevalier Blanc is a beautifully elegant white offering juicy citrus and minty floral notes in a focused, fresh profile. Medium to full-bodied, it’s clean, balanced, and vibrant, with terrific purity and precision. It’s the second wine of the domaine yet tastes like a Grand Vin. Drink bottles over the coming decade.

The 2022 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc is a wine that showed well from barrel. Now in bottle, it has evolved nicely on the nose with citrus peel and dried white flower scents that become a little oilier as it opens in the glass. This has fine delineation. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity. This is citrus-fresh with a sense of nascent energy. It's maybe just missing a little complexity on the finish when compared to the Grand Vin Blanc.
