2014 Pierre Peters Cuvee L'Espirit

Aromas of oyster shell, green apple, lime zest and white flowers introduce the 2014 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Millésime L’Esprit de 2014, a lovely wine that's medium to full-bodied, with excellent depth and concentration at the core, displaying terrific energy and a long, tangy finish. It was disgorged with four grams per liter dosage. As usual, it's a blend of Le Mesnil, Oger, Avize and Cramant—dominated by Le Mesnil. Like all Péters' wines, it really merits a bit of bottle age, though it's so impeccably balanced it can be appreciated young.
