This is really perfumed with rose petals and citrus fruit. It's medium-bodied with brightness and fine tannins that caress the palate. Focused. Vivid. The second wine of Domaine de Chevalier.

The 2022 L'Esprit de Chevalier is soft, supple and inviting—in other words, everything a second wine should be. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, mint, spice and white pepper are nicely delineated. There's lovely energy here.

The 2022 L'Esprit de Chevalier unfurls from the glass with aromas of cassis, mulberries, spices and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, textured and layered, it's elegant and seamless with good depth at the core and youthful, delicate tannins. Concluding with a long, penetrating and ethereal finish, this blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot is a real success.

Shows an enticing sense of freshness in the form of savory and violet details that gently infuse the core of warmed cassis and dark cherry paste. There's a subtle, leathery tug through the finish, which offers nice polish and a late iron twang. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
