Tasting notes
A smoothly honed, precise and seductively textural Champagne that has impressive lemon, grapefruit and peach character, all combined with lightly toasty hazelnuts and a smooth, creamy sorbet-like texture. There's neat balance, freshness and vivacity here.

The 2008 Brut Millesime offers considerable richness from the predominance of Pinot in the blend along with the freshness of the vintage. Dried flowers, red stone fruit, cinnamon, chamomile, pear and slate are all highly expressive in the glass. The 2008 is generous and expansive on the palate, with considerable power and plenty of energy in reserve. The blend is 63% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 4% Pinot Meunier.
Putty, bready nose. Youthful very crisp palate. Not heavy - quite delicate. Long and confident. I suspect it will be even better next year. Sep 2015, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink 2016-2022
