L'avis des experts

James Suckling:

Layered and dense with lots of pear and sliced-apple character. Full and juicy. Second wine of DC.

The Wine Advocate:

The 2016 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc offers attractive pithy scents on the nose, fresh pear and a touch of white peach, with a hint of orange blossom. The palate is well balanced with a fine salinity, quite crisp and lightly spiced with veins of lemongrass and sea salt on the lively finish. This is a fine Deuxième Vin in a vintage that did not really favor the dry white.

Jeb Dunnuck:

The second wine of Domaine de Chevalier is no slouch and is well worth seeking out. The 2016 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc offers vibrant notes of white peach and citrus pith as well as a medium-bodied, fresh, crisp style on the palate. It has terrific balance and is a beauty.
