Domaine de Chevalier, L'Esprit de Chevalier Pessac-Leognan Blanc, 2023

Domaine de Chevalier is one of the great names of Pessac-Leognan, long revered for whites that rank among the finest dry whites in all of Bordeaux. L'Esprit de Chevalier is the estate's second white wine, your chance to taste that pedigree without the grand-vin price tag. Born from younger vines and lots that don't quite make the top cuvee, it's a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon that's bright, focused, and ready to enjoy young. Expect juicy citrus, a little floral and minty lift, and a fresh, mineral finish. It's elegant and seductive, the kind of white Bordeaux that reminds you why the region's dry whites are so beloved. A graceful, food-friendly pour.
