The tasting
The L’Esprit de Chevalier white 2019 displays a clear, pale gold colour with bright reflections. The very pure bouquet reveals aromas of citrus and vine peach. After aeration, floral notes emerge. The L’Esprit de Chevalier white 2019 expresses a rich and crystalline palate of great liveliness. Smooth and indulgent are the key words to describe this 2019 vintage of the l’Esprit de Chevalier white.
