Perla din Cramant
Champagne Lilbert este un producator cu traditie din satul Cramant Grand Cru, un productaor foarte mic, cu doar 3.5ha de vie, plantate doar cu Chardonnay, majoritar in Cramant si alte cateva parcele in satele Chouilly si Oiry Grand Cru. Vitele vechi adanc înrădăcinate în solul cretos, cu un microclimat unic și o expunere remarcabilă, reprezinta terroirul ideal pentru a produce vinuri exceptionale care pot trece testul timpul pentru decenii. Champagne Lilbert este un producator legendar in Cramant, iar sampaniile sale sunt unele dintre cele mai longevive din regiune. Stilul este sever, dur și cretos, cu o abundență de note florale în tinerețe. Pe măsură ce îmbătrânesc, sampaniile dobândesc o bogăție minunată, dar acea amintire de cretă încă rămâne în vin. Sampaniile Lilebert sunt unul dintre cele mai bine păstrate secrete ale regiunii.

‘’The written record has the Lilbert family cultivating vines around its hilltop village of Cramant in 1746, and it’s probably a fair bet that they were there sometime before that (the oldest part of their 23-foot-deep cellar dates from 1712). The record further shows that as early as 1907 the family bottled its own wine for commercial sale. Despite such longevity, the house of Lilbert is tiny: it farms a mere 3.5 hectares of vines (this figure translates into 8.6 acres, and unfortunately our old back label erroneously states 9.4 acres). Bertrand Lilbert and his father Georges make only grand cru blanc de blancs from 100% Chardonnay. Their annual production averages 2,300 twelve-pack cases. To put this in perspective, the house of Moët & Chandon pumps out 25 million cases each year. Unlike Moët, the Lilberts make all of their wine from their own vineyards, which break down into 15 parcels in the grand cru villages of Oiry (10% of their total plantation), Chouilly (30%), and Cramant (60%) on the Côte des Blancs. The vine age average is 45 years old. The farming culture here is lutte raisonnée, i.e., sustainable. All of the wines are made in steel vats and all undergo malolactic fermentation. The bottles are riddled by hand (Bertrand turns 4,000 each morning; takes him 30 minutes!) in a deep, hand-dug tuffeau cellar, and the wine is disgorged without freezing. The house style emphasizes fine mousse and fragrant aromas of lime, yellow orchard fruits, and hay. These are beautiful expressions of intensely mineral, chalky Chardonnay, with gorgeously rich
Cramant fruit wrapped in elegance and nuance. ‘’ wine.com
