Decanter om: Champagne L'Esprit Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru

Sourced from four of the great grand cru villages of the Côte des Blancs, L’Esprit is an archetype of a classy Chardonnay-based Champagne. Rodolphe identifies seasonal elements from each of the villages; steely wintery austerity from Le Mesnil, ripe summer generosity from Avize, spring flowers from Oger and autumnal hints of spice and sousbois from Cramant. Be that as it may, today the wine sings with great charm, its frothy billowing core silky and wonderfully elegant; notes of apple charlotte, praline and lemon pith are all evidenced and the finish is long and persistent, with a teasing twist of salinity. 93/100

Galloni om: Champagne L'Esprit Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru

The 2016 Brut Cuvée Millésime L'Esprit is laced with the essence of tropical fruit, exotic white flowers and lemon confit. Intensely perfumed and radiant, the 2016 offers tons of near and medium-term appeal. This is an especially racy, aromatic, weightless edition of the Esprit. Dosage is 4.5-5.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: February, 2021. 93/100

Wine Spectator om: Champagne L'Esprit Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru

A firm, lip-smacking Champagne, with oyster shell and brine notes on the nose showing as a streak of salinity on the palate, where it underscores flavors of crunchy pear, smoked almond, dried white cherry and orange peel. Tightly-knit and linear, this will benefit from short-term cellaring or pairing with food; try with fried chicken. 93/100
