L’Esprit de Chevalier 2018 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is elegant, fruity and offers freshness as well as a small power. It reveals notes of Boysen berry, graphite and small notes of red fruits (raspberry, ripe red berries)associated with fine touches of Cuben pepper as well as a very discreet hint of spices. The palate is fruity, mineral, well-balanced and offers freshness, a finely acidulous frame, a fine tension as well as a fine grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/acidulous cassis, juicy/acidulous raspberry and small notes of juicy/acidulous blackberry associated with small touches of ripe red berries as well as fine hints of toasted, violet and a very discreet hint of vanilla. Tannins are elegant and very discreetly firm. Good length. Good persistence and gourmandize.
