Critic reviews
"The 2025 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc reveals a fresh, aromatic bouquet of verbena, confit lemon and spring flowers. Medium-bodied, juicy and crystalline, it’s notably fresh yet enveloping, combining precision and freshness with a juicy core of fruit, concluding with a long and ethereal finish, underlining the wine’s balance and clarity."
Yohan Castaing, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2025 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc is impressive on the nose for a Deuxième Vin, with engaging green apple, kiwi, pear drop and light stony scents that are very well defined. The palate is well balanced, with fine acidity, lovely texture, the 30% Sémillon imparting weight and umami towards the peppery finish. Not immensely long, but this is very satisfying."
Neal Martin, May 2026, Vinous.com
"A very fine red with aromas of berries, fresh herbs and tomato leaves. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a fine tannin quality. Some chocolate. Only 12.5% alcohol."
James Suckling, April 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Appealing, succulent, nicely balanced, graphite and citrus, this has lovely bright zest and grip, slate, enjoyable, a great value pick that really should not be overlooked."
