NV Lilbert-Fils Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut
Grower Champagne Pre-arrival Offer!
- Landing early February 2025
Tom Hewson, Decanter
Bertrand Lilbert’s wines have long been insider favourites, particularly the intensely characterful, clean-cut and aromatic Cramant Chardonnay, and the Perle – which follows a tradition in the village of reducing the pressure of the mousse by one third to give finer, creamier bubbles
91 Points Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate (December 2024)
Hailing from the villages of Cramant (60%), Chouilly (30%) and Oiry, and based on the incisive 2021 vintage, complemented by 50% of a perpetual blend initiated in the 1980s, Lilbert’s latest NV Extra Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs was disgorged in May 2024 with a dosage of three grams per liter. Unfurling from the glass with aromas of crisp green apple, fresh citrus fruit and white flowers, it is medium-bodied and has a tensile personality, laden with bright acids and concluding with sapid finish. It will be even better in about three years and will offer a broad drinking window. As with all the wines in Lilbert’s cellar, it is vinified in tank.
