The wine is L'Esprit de Chevalier Rouge 2025 (often referred to as Esprit de Chevalier Rouge), the second wine of Domaine de Chevalier. The early critic reaction is very favourable, with reviewers seeing it as a serious second wine with excellent value, combining the estate’s classic Pessac-Léognan character with earlier accessibility than the grand vin.
