Heiner Lobenberg om:
Champagne Esprit de Vrigny Premier Cru Brut Nature

95–96
/100

Vrigny som kommune står for fremragende Pinot Meunier, men ikke kun. Meunier dyrkes på sand, Pinot Noir på ler og Chardonnay på kalkstensklipper. Tre druesorter, tre terroirs. Basisvinen fra 2016 er gæret på træ, hvilket giver 1er Cru'en fra Vrigny en vidunderlig fylde og cremet blødhed. Doseret i juli 2022 med 0 gram, knastør, hvilket skaber en smuk spændingsbue med træmodningen. På trods af den røde druekraft fra pinotdruerne fremhæves de varme citrusfrugter fra chardonnayen smukt og giver en slående friskhed som underlag. Bitter appelsin, kvædepære og solbær med hvide blomster. Kommer rundt i svinget med et smukt tryk. Cremet, delikat appelsin med appelsinblomst, derefter et pikant grapefrugtkick i afslutningen. Dette er en ganske kompleks og komplet pakke af friskhed og kraft, som gør den til en god ledsager til et måltid, men også til en god solist. En berusende intens champagne med karakter, hvis gribende, kridttørre bid virkelig skruer op for varmen i afslutningen. Dette er ikke en champagne for begyndere, den har virkelig pondus. Sammenlignelig i stil med Laherte, men med et andet twist i frugten. 94+/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne Esprit de Vrigny Premier Cru Brut Nature

The NV Champagne Premiere Cru Esprit de Vrigny Brut is based on the 2016 vintage and comes from one plot each of Meunier from sand, Pinot Noir from clay, and Chardonnay from chalk, in equal parts and without dosage to express the terroir. Vinified in oak and pouring a golden straw color, it’s brut in nature but doesn’t feel austere, with pure ripeness to its fruit. Opening to aromas of orange blossoms, wild berries, and saline broth, it’s savory on the palate, with a long arch and a soft, rounded mousse throughout. This is a very lovely wine to drink over the next 15-20 years. Fewer than 2300 bottles were produced. 95/100

Parker om: Champagne Esprit de Vrigny Premier Cru Brut Nature

Based on the 2018 vintage, the newly released NV Brut Nature Esprit de Vrigny delivers a complex bouquet of stone fruit, red berries, white flowers, toasted nuts and gunflint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and pillowy palate that's pure, seamless and elegant, concluding with a saline, delicately nutty finish. 93/100

Suckling om: Champagne Esprit de Vrigny Premier Cru Brut Nature

This leads with sliced apple, pear and ginger biscuit on the nose. A hint of salted sourdough, too. It’s dry and savory with fine bubbles and a sleek, perfectly balanced finish. Meunier, chardonnay and pinot noir vinified in oak barrels. Zero dosage. Drink now.

Galloni om: Champagne Esprit de Vrigny Premier Cru Brut Nature

The NV Brut Nature Esprit de Vrigny is bright and finely sculpted to the core, with tremendous energy driving the citrus and floral flavors. Although the Esprit is 2/3rds red grapes, the Chardonnay is quite expressive today, especially in the wine's aromatic and flavor profile, with tropical notes that add an attractive element of exoticism, while the red grapes are mostly felt in the wine's texture and overall depth. This is a gorgeous and expressive wine from Eric Coulon. Disgorged: June, 2018. 92/100

Jancis Robinson om: Champagne Esprit de Vrigny Premier Cru Brut Nature

Apple skins and membrillo. Rain-bruised orange blossom and iced cardamom. On the palate, it's a dragonfly, like catching light and shadows. A tiny note of something sweet, almost nougat, that disappears without a trace in a second. Lemon-drizzle cake and then the bitter fragrant bite of grapefruit peel. And then, the wake of this constantly moving wine is chalk, soaked in rain and soaked in lemon and packed in white pepper and trace-etched with slightly green tobacco leaves. Like all these Coulon wines, almost impossible to pin down with words. Defiant and glorious. 18/20
