« De couleur grenat pourpre profond, L'Esprit de Chevalier 2016 offre des arômes exubérants de cerises noires, de mûres et de prunes chaudes avec des notes d'épices et de tabac. Moyennement corsé, il a une texture ferme et granuleuse et beaucoup de fraîcheur soutenant le fruit noir généreux et juteux sur une finale épicée.»
Tasting notes
Appearance
The wines have a dense but lighter robe than the medoc. The hue is ruby with a touch ranging from purple to brick depending on the evolution.
Aroma
The bouquet is often fruity, with currant and other red and black fruits to which are added smoked or roasted notes.
Wine Floral | Fruity | Spicy
Taste
Composed on average of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the red wines of Pessac-Léognan make a good compromise between marked tannins and the greediness of the fruit. We thus find red and ripe fruits, and empyreumatic notes.
