Readers looking for a terrific Bordeaux Blanc should check out the 2018 L'Esprit De Chevalier Blanc from Domaine de Chevalier. Based on 60% Sauvignon and 40% Sémillon, it has a rocking bouquet of honeyed pineapple, peach, and lemon curd to go with medium-bodied richness, a bright, juicy, lively texture, terrific balance, and a clean, dry finish. It's well worth seeking out and is going to keep for 5-7 years with no issues.
The 2018 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc is exquisite. Bright and airy in the glass, the Esprit Blanc marries a striking sense of transparency with all kinds of citrus oil, floral and mineral flavors. Here, too, I am blown away by the wine's precision and overall nuance, especially for a second white wine.
The 2018 L' Esprit de Chevalier Blanc is a little closed to begin, unfurling to offer elegant lemongrass, fresh ginger and orange blossom scents over a core of grapefruit and white peaches plus a waft of crushed stones. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers super intense, vibrant citrus and floral layers with a racy backbone and satiny texture, finishing with a persistent spicy kick.
