Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 May 26
The 2021 L'Esprit de 2021 is a very pretty Champagne to drink now and over the next handful of years. Apricot, spice, chamomile, ginger and dried flowers lend notable aromatic complexity. Tropical overtones add character. I would not push my luck on aging. The 2021 is quite pleasant today, but not likely to improve materially. Dosage is 4.7 grams per liter. Disgorged: November 2025.
Drinking Date: 2026 - 2033

Champagne

Champagne, exclusively from France's Champagne region, is synonymous with luxury and celebration. Made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating its signature bubbles. Flavours range from crisp green apple and citrus to rich, toasty notes of nuts and honey. Yeast contact in the bottle contributes to pastry and brioche notes, which are a key part of good quality Champagne. Top producers include Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Krug.
