Description
Appropriately named, as “Empriente” means to mark, imprint, footmark, footprint, impression. This Champagne certainly makes a wonderful impression!
“Fresh and focused, with a minerally underpinning and a creamy, well-knit mix of Gala apple, slivered almond and toast point flavors, plus hints of cherry blossoms and pink grapefruit pith. Lingering, lacy finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged November 2022. Drink now through 2028. 100 cases imported.” – 93 points, Wine Spectator
