Submitted: 6th April 2025

A good Champagne brand, their 2008 offered toasty notes, dried floral, minerals, yellow fruits, and more in the length. Good now but could be even better in a few years.


The 2008 Vintage Year In The Vineyard: The mild and humid winter combined with an unstable spring with cool temperatures, abundant rain and a few strong frosts in April, lead to a late burst. However, the mildness of May allowed the vines to catch up. Summer takes place under a mixed weather. The harvest begins between 15th and 25th September depending on areas. The weather is ideal, dry and sunny during the day, fresh at night, allowing an accumulation of sugars in the berries. The quality of grapes is exceptional and the balance between sugar and acidity of the grape must is perfect.
