Domaine de Chevalier L'Esprit de Chevalier Pessac-Leognan Rouge 2018

WOW. Having those contacts in Bordeaux makes ALL the difference. We direct-imported this shortly after tasting samples sent to us from France. An outrageously polished and fine wine – we promise you will NOT believe it’s under $30!

Those writeups make us THIRSTY! L’Esprit is made with the same winemaking and techniques as the “first” wine (scored a whopping 99 POINTS!), only from younger vines on the estate in the esteemed Pessac-Leognan appellation (land of Chateau Haut-Brion, La Mission, and many more legends). This was aged 12 months in 2 year old barrels, and has tremendous structure and balance…again, $29.95?!

Soars with blackberry extract, mocha, gentle spices and espresso…so rich and long and flavorful, with wonderful, warm tannins, and super finesse and polish. Just amazing! ONLY 20 CASES…first come, first served….!/p>
