2021, L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc, PESSAC-LÉOGNAN
$64
Bordeaux Blanc Blend: Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon.
Light and sappy with stone fruits, apricot and nectarine, there is an underlying sweetness that is hugely appealing. It really closes in through the palate and has a ton of grip with the touch of Pessac-Léognan elegance but can be rolled out and enjoyed straight away. 91 Jane Anson.
Pear, red apple and lemon zest as well as grapefruit and satsuma - this is really fruity and alive on the palate, so much fun and freshness but also harmony and serenity. It's well worked and balanced, not too sharp or sour just gentle. I like the styling here, feels purposeful and delicious. Easy to appreciate with texture and structure. Excellent work. 91, Georgina Hindle, Decanter.
