The 2021 vintage shows an elegant and floral profile, with aromas of verbena, lime tree leaves, spring flowers, pear, peach, citrus, grapefruit, white flowers, nutmeg, and subtle spice. Farr Vintners notes that the 2021 L’Esprit de Chevalier Blanc was matured for nine months in barrels and shows verbena, lime tree leaves, spring flowers, pear, peach, and nutmeg hints.

On the palate, it is dry, fresh, and textured, with Sauvignon Blanc bringing citrus lift and aromatic brightness, while Sémillon adds roundness, body, and complexity.
