L’Esprit de Chevalier Blanc 2022

✦ The Landscape & Terroir
Bordeaux is a landscape of rivers, gravel, clay and restrained maritime light. The Gironde and its tributaries moderate the climate, while the soils shape the wine’s structure and longevity. In Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, France, gravel and clay-limestone soils give the wine its frame, depth and sense of place.

✦ The Wine & Varieties
2022 Domaine de Chevalier L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc is made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. For Hong Kong collectors new to European fine wine, this is a way to understand place through structure: fruit gives pleasure, but terroir gives the wine its shape and memory.

✦ Winemaking Philosophy
The wine reflects second wine from Domaine de Chevalier. The cellar work is not about making the loudest wine, but about preserving proportion, texture and the identity of the vineyard. Ageing: careful ageing for texture.

✦ Taste Profile
Expect citrus, white peach, fine herbs and a polished texture, with freshness carrying the finish. It is a wine to serve with care, open with time and enjoy as it moves from fruit toward detail.

✦ Why It Matters
