L’Esprit de Chevalier 2018 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is fruity and offers a racy minerality, a fine freshness as well as a fine intensity. It reveals notes of lemon, mandarine, small notes of kumquat associated with small touches of lychee and small white fruits. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, juiciness, suavity as well as a small fat, a good definition, gourmandize, a fine grain and a good structure. On the palate this wine expresses notes of quenette, fleshy/pulpy nectarine, small notes of lychee associated with touches of citron (mandarine, lemon) as well as hints of crushed white fruits, a subtle hint of passion fruit, salinity, a very fine hint of mandarine flowers and an imperceptible hint of toasted/hazelnut (in the background). Good length. A good sapidity and gourmandize on the finish. A beautiful persistence.
