L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc Pessac Leognan 2016

93 pts James Suckling

The intense, grassy and pithy-lemon aromas, as well as a swathe of fresh herbs, all make for an attractive young wine. The palate has mouthwateringly fresh, lemony acidity and delivers a very energetic, flavorful impression. Second wine of Domaine de Chevalier Blanc. A blend of 60 per cent sauvignon and 40 per cent semillon. Drink or hold.

The 2016 L' Esprit de Chevalier Blanc features lemon meringue pie, lime cordial and orange blossoms scents with a touch of fennel seed. Medium-bodied, it fills the palate with mouthwatering citrusy layers, and a touch of savoriness comes through on the finish.
