L'Esprit de Chevalier Pessac Leognan Second wine of Domaine de Chevalier

L'Esprit de Chevalier is the second wine of Domaine de Chevalier, one of Pessac-Léognan's most respected estates. This 2020 blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot delivers the hallmark elegance and food-friendliness of the appellation in a more approachable format than the grand vin.

On the nose, red currant and plum lead, with hints of cassis and subtle cedar. The palate shows medium-full body with balanced, refined tannins and good acidity. Secondary notes of herb and graphite minerality add complexity without overwhelming the fruit-forward character. This is a wine built for the table—versatile with roasted meats, braised dishes, and Mediterranean cuisine.
