Champagne Joseph Perrier - Esprit de Victoria Blanc de Blancs 2010

 

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2022
(around 76 euros per bottle)

Aspect

Golden and brilliant.

Delicate bubbles.

Nose

The endless elegance of the Chardonnay, exclusive varietal, carefully harvested by hand in 2010 in the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs (Chouilly and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger) and the Premier Cru of Cumières, is underlined by soft spices.

Palate

The heady liveliness, reinforced by the adjusted dosage with only 5 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement, deliciously mineral, unveils an ample and generous roundness, characteristic sign of 9 years of patient ageing of the bottles, on laths, before riddling and disgorgement.

With this cuvée Esprit de Victoria Blanc de Blancs 2010, Nathalie Laplaige, cellar master, signs a rare champagne.
