Characteristics and tasting advice for L’Esprit de Chevalier Rouge 2018
Tasting
Color
Superb red color, black in the center.
Nose
Very expressive, the aromatic bouquet unfolds a palette of black fruits with scents of blueberry, blackcurrant, blackberry, and cherry. Beautiful spicy and peppery notes then appear before giving way to mineral notes with graphite pencil mine scents.
Palate
On the palate, the mouth offers a delicious and fleshy substance, revealing an elegant structure with very fine tannins. The exquisite sensation of creaminess is balanced by a great freshness of the fruit and a remarkable tension that persists long in the finish. A very great red wine from Pessac-Léognan that will be fully appreciated in its youth.
The complexity of a great fruity and balanced Graves red wine
The property
Owned by the Bernard family since 1983, the magnificent Domaine de Chevalier is at the top of the greatest Classified Growths of Bordeaux. The estate is located in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, which is situated in a green setting south of Bordeaux. L’Esprit de Chevalier is the second wine of the estate.
The vineyard
Domaine de Chevalier is a Pessac-Léognan wine from a rare 67-hectare vineyard, resting on a gravelly terroir with clay-gravel subsoils. Since 1986, the young vines have been destined to ripen the berries that participate in the blend of the estate's second wine, L’Esprit de Chevalier.
Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) and Merlot (40%).
