L'esprit De Chevalier

Pessac-Leognan Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot

Domaine De Chevalier L'esprit De Chevalier is a true embodiment of the prestigious Pessac-Leognan region. This red blend predominantly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a touch of Petit Verdot offers an enchanting complexity that delights the senses. In the glass, it displays a deep, alluring ruby hue, while the nose is greeted with an aromatic bouquet of dark berries, such as blackcurrant and blackberry, interwoven with nuances of graphite, cedar, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, this wine is well-structured and full-bodied, delivering a luscious mouthfeel with refined tannins that present themselves as firm yet polished. The acidity is bright and invigorating, harmoniously balancing the wine's rich texture and depth of flavors. Each sip unfolds layers of dark fruit intensity, complemented by elegant whispers of tobacco, spice, and a hint of earthiness that reflect the terroir of its origin. This wine's complexity and elegance make it a fantastic companion for an array of food pairings or a delightful experience on its own. With a finishing touch that lingers gracefully, Domaine De Chevalier L'esprit De Chevalier stands as a testament to the excellence of the Pessac-Leognan appellation.

Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
