JAMES SUCKLING: "Solid phenolics and dried lemon, lime and sliced apple. Full and layered. Intense and bright. Structured and pretty. Second wine."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Green apples, lemons, and honeysuckle notes are all over the place here. On the palate, the wine is vibrant, citrusy, and creamy, with good energy in the finish. The wine blends 70% Sauvignon Blanc, and 30% Semillon. Drink from 2025-2032."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2022 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc, a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, reveals aromas of spices, pear, peach, menthol and lemon. On the palate, it's fleshy and elegant, with bright acids and a long, saline finish. This is a great effort for a second wine."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2022 L'Esprit De Chevalier Blanc should be outstanding and would be a no-brainer purchase for those who love well-made Bordeaux Blanc. Bright citrus, lemon, honeyed flowers, and minty herb are just some of its nuances, and it's medium-bodied, vibrant, and balanced."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "The 2022 L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc, 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon, charges out with zesty notions of lemon tart, lime cordial, and Granny Smith apples, giving way to wild thyme and chalky hints. The medium-bodied palate is crisp and wonderfully pure, with fantastic tension and a chalky finish. pH 3.24."
