L'ESPRIT DE CHEVALIER ROUGE: CLASSIC PESSAC-LÉOGNAN ELEGANCE

As the second label of the esteemed Domaine de Chevalier, a Graves Grand Cru Classé, L'Esprit de Chevalier embodies the estate's dedication to quality. It is crafted from the younger vines and rigorous selections, offering a superb introduction to the classic style of Pessac-Léognan. This white wine is designed to be charming and enjoyable earlier than its Grand Vin counterpart, providing complexity and finesse at exceptional value.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• **Colour:** A deep, intense ruby hue with a bright core.
• **Nose:** A profound and elegant aroma profile, featuring plush dark berries (blackberry, blackcurrant), subtle hints of new oak, tobacco leaf, and the signature graphite minerality of the Graves terroir.
• **Palate:** Medium-to-full bodied with a silky, dense texture. It displays concentrated dark fruit, fine-grained, velvety tannins, and a fresh acidity that leads to a long, refined finish.

Serving & Food Match

Serve at 17°C-18°C. This is the perfect wine for a traditional Sunday roast or a sophisticated dinner party.

• **Recommended Matches:** Traditional Roast Lamb with Rosemary, Venison Pie, Mature Cheeses (e.g., strong Cheddar or Stilton).
• **Drink Window:** Ready to drink, with the structure to age gracefully for a decade.
