This wine is a reflection of the year's weather and climate. 2008 ended wonderfully with the grapes maturing in ideal conditions. New to Vintage 2008 is that 5% of the wines were produced and aged in large wooden casks (foudres) from forests in Central France, and this addition increases the champagne’s strength and aromatic richness. The cask-aged wines act as spices to the blend, bringing very lightly woody, vanilla and toasted aromas.
Aged Comte or white fish dishes, Crab, Mushrooms
Delicate hints of toasted notes, Lightly candied citrus fruit, Dried fruits (apricots)
The bold, lively, and pure flavour transforms into a powerful, structured palate, delicately chiselled from the minerality of Champagne's chalky terroir. The generosity of this Pinot Noir's fruitiness resonates harmoniously with the freshness of the lightly candied citrus fruit aromas (lemon) which are embellished in the finish with delicate hints of toasted notes.
