2019 ‘L’Espirit’ Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut - Pierre Peters - Côte des Blancs

The 2019 L’Esprit Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut is a brilliant expression of the Côte des Blancs, where chalky soils act like a natural water reservoir and lend Chardonnay its trademark drive and minerality. Based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, family-run Pierre Péters has crafted Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs since 1919; today, Rodolphe Péters oversees just over 19 hectares across Le Mesnil, Oger, Avize and Cramant. The warm 2019 vintage brought richness balanced by cool-night freshness. Expect lemon, citrus blossom, pear, toasted bread, almond and a delicious chalky, saline finish. Serve with oysters, scallops, sushi, roast chicken or delicate soft cheeses.
