Esprit de Victoria Blanc de Blancs 2010

The Esprit de Victoria Blanc de Blancs 2010 shows Joseph Perrier at its purest. It is an Extra Brut from Premiers and Grands Crus, carefully crafted by hand and aged for six years. The bottle goes back to a historic design by Joseph Perrier himself. As a Blanc de Blancs it is made solely from Chardonnay, and the 2010 vintage gives it a distinctive profile.

With this style, expect a straightforward, mineral-driven champagne with taut acidity that shows hardly any sweetness. Serve it at 9 to 10 °C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass, which preserves precision and fragrance. It goes with oysters, raw fish and shellfish, and is also good enjoyed on its own. If you like to let bottles rest for a few years, you can do that with this one too.
