Classic Pessac aromatics right away: cassis and mulberry over cedar, tobacco leaf, crushed gravel and warm spice with a whisper of licorice. Medium-to-full bodied, layered and textured on the palate — a deep core of dark fruit framed by fine, ripe tannins and a long, savory, graphite-tinged finish. The second wine of a great classified growth drinking comfortably above its rank; enjoy now with a decant, or cellar 3-6 years through the late 2020s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e: L’Esprit de Chevalier is the red second wine of Domaine de Chevalier, drawn from the estate’s young vines and declassified lots on its famous gravelly sands south of Bordeaux — the same terroir and cellar team as the grand vin. A classic Cabernet-led blend with Merlot and touches of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged in French oak. The 2022 vintage gave structured, concentrated reds with ripe, generous fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e: Excellent with roast beef and lamb, duck breast, smoked meats, mushroom dishes, and aged Comté or sheep’s milk cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinery Story\u003c\/b\u003e: Domaine de Chevalier is one of the immortal names of Graves — a classified growth whose secluded, forest-ringed vineyards in Léognan produce reds and whites of legendary finesse. Under the Bernard family’s stewardship since 1983, the estate’s savoir-faire shapes every drop of L’Esprit, its second wine; it reaches the US through importer Monsieur Touton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Monsieur Touton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50390409085185,"sku":"3760290645554","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/esprit-chevalier-rouge-nm.png?v=1790330070","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/lesprit-de-chevalier-pessac-leognan-2022","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
