Champagne Pierre Peters L'Esprit Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2016
Vendor code : 1284
Rodolphe Peters brilliantly runs the renowned Champagne house Pierre Peters, which spans 19 hectares in Mesnil-sur-Oger, where Chardonnay reveals itself in its purest and most chalk-infused form. Vinification takes place in stainless steel, ensuring the wines are never overly austere. Today, Peters slightly delays the release of his flagship wines, Les Chétillons and Montjolys, extending their aging by six months ‘sur lattes,’ followed by an additional year on cork. Buyers should note that Pierre Peters Champagne's excellence is evident even in the serious entry-level wines, making the purchase of the entire range highly justifiable.

Champagne Pierre Péters L'Esprit Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2016: Dosage - 4.5-5.5 g/l. Maturation - 5 years. Disgorged in 2021. L'Esprit 2016 is crafted from a blend of four separate Grand Cru vineyards located in Le Mesnil, Avize, Cramant, and Oger. It is characterized by a very low dosage and a particular lightness and delicacy that make it highly enjoyable to drink. The aroma is a bouquet of white flowers, fruit, and sea salt. Full-bodied and rich on the palate, it finishes long and fresh. This Champagne has great potential for both near-term and long-term enjoyment, with a recommended drinking window from 2021 to 2038.
L'Esprit Blanc de Blancs Grand is a selection of the finest grapes from four Grand Cru vineyards (Le Mesnil, Avize, Cramant, and Oger). This Champagne is produced only in the best years. Vinification takes place in stainless steel, followed by aging on lees in steel vats. The wine is then further aged in bottle for 5 years. The 2016 vintage faced challenges, including frosts and very low temperatures in spring, along with wet weather from May to July, which heightened the risk of grape diseases. Fortunately, warm and dry conditions in August saved the 2016 harvest, allowing it to begin on schedule in September. The style of Pierre Péters Champagne is best described as subtle, clean, fresh, and elegant.
