Mostly Chardonnay, with the remaining 5% split between Muscadet, Riesling, Savagnin, and Ehrenfelser, this cuvee is a nod to the farmers, interred in the eponymous cemetery nearby, who first tilled the soil on which these grapes are grown. Solemn, but not intolerably so.
A blend of all three Champagne grapes grown on the coolest plots (the "lieux frais" of the name) l'Espiegle has, aged for 34 months on lees. Fresh Brie rind and lemon on the nose, with all the creamy complexity you could ask for on the palate.
