Critic reviews
"Aromas of white flowers, spices, candied citrus and herbs introduce the 2023 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc, a medium- to full-bodied wine that is ample and lively, concluding with a long, saline and ethereal finish. A blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Sémillon, it fully confirms expectations formed at the en primeur stage."
Yohan Castaing, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2023 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc has a stern bouquet that takes time to open in the glass, light sea spray scents, quite malic but this is very well defined. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, a lovely resinous texture, plenty of extract here that is commendable for a second wine. Doubtless great value given the quality."

"Slightly reductive at this stage, but it opens up with time, showing fresh herbs, minerals and creamy tropical fruit with a touch of guavas and green apples. Saline on the palate, with round, medium body and a textured finish. Drinkable now after a quick decanting, but better from 2026."
