Winemaking notes
A truly exceptional vintage, 2008 reflects the House’s precision and discipline. With Pinot Noir at its core, each parcel is vinified separately. Traditional bottle fermentation followed by extended aging on lees reveals remarkable tension, depth, and a refined structure worthy of the finest champagnes.
Viticultural notes
Sourced primarily from Grand Cru vineyards, 2008 was a cool, late-ripening year allowing slow, ideal maturation. Chalky soils bring minerality and precision. Pinot Noir provides structure, while Chardonnay adds lift and elegance.
Tasting notes
The nose is pure and finely cut, with citrus, white flowers, and a delicate chalky note. On the palate, vibrant freshness carries flavors of lemon, green apple, and almond. The finish is long, saline, and beautifully elegant, leaving a lasting impression of finesse.
Pairing notes
Serve between 10–12°C in a tulip glass. Let it open briefly to reveal its full precision. Perfect with oysters, seafood, or delicate, mineral-driven dishes.
