Tasting notes
The 2020 L'Esprit de 2020 is brisk, finely cut and refreshing. Lemon peel, orchard fruit, chalk, mint and white pepper are all beautifully delineated in the glass. There's terrific precision and energy. Savory, slightly vegetal notes linger in the background but don’t overpower the wine, even though they have become more apparent over time, perhaps also because of the slightly lower dosage for this release. I advise drinking this over the next few years. Dosage is 4.2 grams per liter. Disgorged: November 2025.

The 2020 L'Esprit de 2020 is vivid and finely cut. Orchard fruit, sage, mint, white pepper and slate lend notable brightness. There's a touch of angularity in the chiseled contours, along with the slightly drying character of the year. Even so, the 2020 is nicely balanced. This will be especially fine at the dinner table. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: October 2024.
