Champagne Mesnil Emotion Grand Cru 2013 Philippe Glavier
Champagne Mesnil Emotion Grand Cru 2013 is a fine wine produced by Philippe Glavier. The most prestigious label in the range, it is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from an old parcel in Mesnil sur Oger, a Grand Cru commune among the most renowned in Champagne for the production of Chardonnay.
But the secret of this bottle derives as much from the terroir as from the talent of the producer, and Philippe Glavier has been recognised for the quality of his range, of which this Mesnil Emotion is one of the spearheads. A rich Champagne but supported by a nice acidity, it expresses a complex base of fruit such as peach and plum, almond and brioche notes against a background of mineral salts.
The sip is full and invigorating while supported by a nice acidity that holds throughout the length, with a finish of minerals and salty notes. A great bottle that can already be enjoyed in its youth but will give the best of its potential after a few years of ageing.
