It’s no secret that Pierre Peters is one of the top growers in all of Champagne. Peters’ mastery of the Côte des Blancs is nearly unparalleled - the wines flaunt incredible refinement, singularity and mineral-inflected elegance.

We’re very excited to offer the 2010 L'Esprit. This is the first time we’ve been able to land the wine in enough quantity to offer it out.

2010 was a vintage of remarkable freshness and purity - exactly the sort of vintage where Pierre Peters’ style flourishes. Antonio Galloni sums up the 2010 nicely: “A bright, crystalline Champagne, the Brut L'Esprit de 2010 is built on a core of pure energy. This is an especially weightless, tense style for the Esprit.”

L’Esprit is only made in top vintages, and it's sourced from four single vineyards in the Grand Crus of Le Mesnil, Avize, Cramant and Oger. In any given vintage the blend is at least 40% Le Mesnil, which accounts for the wine’s racy finesse and finely detailed minerality.

The Peters family has deep roots in Champagne, leading all the way back to 1840. Since then, the estate has emerged as the standard bearer of the Côte des Blancs, producing some of the most finely rendered expressions of Chardonnay anywhere.

Peters' wines often demand time in the cellar to show their full glory, and with age, they reveal an extra layer of complexity and fascination. The 2010 L’Esprit is a wine we expect to transform beautifully. As is usually the case with wines this special, there’s not much to go around. Please give us your ideal order and we’ll do our best.

2010 Pierre Peters L'Esprit

Antonio Galloni, Vinous: A bright, crystalline Champagne, the Brut L'Esprit de 2010 is built on a core of pure energy. This is an especially weightless, tense style for the Esprit. It will appeal most to readers who like focused, citrus-driven Blancs de Blancs. It will be interesting to see if the 2010 acquires a bit more weight in bottle. Regardless, this is a striking and delicious Champagne that captures the essence of the house style. Disgorged November, 2015. Dosage is 4.7 grams per liter.
