N/V Cramant Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, Lilbert-Fils (2016 Base Vintage)

N/V Cramant Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, Lilbert-Fils (2016 Base Vintage)

Lilbert is a tiny estate, just 3.5 hecatres, and their graceful Cramant wines - one of the prized grand cru villages of the Côte des Blancs - are highly sought-after by connoisseurs. This non-vintage grand cru is a blend of 50% 2016 and 50% reserve wine. It has a sea air, briny freshness, and is so quintessentially chalky blanc de blancs on the nose. The palate has a soft mousse (it is slightly lower pressure than mainstream Champagnes) and a salty, fresh length with an agile weight. It is discreet and reserved on first opening, but its reticent refrain opens up with some coaxing. One for the purists.
