I certify that I am of legal ageWeather: Autumn 2007 was cool, but dry, followed by a relatively mild winter. Spring 2008 was mostly wet, with flowering in early June and temperatures still very low. Ripening of the grapes from mid-August to mid-September went smoothly.
Harvest:
Beginning: from 17/09 to 06/10 at Gardet.
Conditions: dry, cool weather (perfect).
Characteristics: 2 remarkable parameters stand out in 2008: acidity and nitrogen content. The harvest was very abundant.
Summary: The weather was generally uncertain and cool during the growing season, but then we saw the providential return of the sun at harvest time.
Optimal serving temperature: 8 to 10°C (46 to 50°F)
COLOUR: Golden yellow and golden highlight, with a lively, cheerful bubble.
NOSE: The first bouquet is rather discreet, with iodine and mineral notes. It then opens up with notes of white flowers, evolving into aromas of savoury fruit, spices and waxed notes.
PALATE: Finesse and tension. Fresh on the palate, it is tangy and very lemony, with hints of granny smith apples. The lemon zest finish gives the wine great aromatic persistence.
This Champagne is the ideal accompaniment to your celebrations. Whether it’s a dinner party, a wedding or simply an evening with friends, the astonishing finesse and freshness of this vintage make it the dream choice for champagne lovers. It goes wonderfully with lobster tails, grilled Saint-Pierre, sea bass, Blue Lobster, scallops or simply as an aperitif for special occasions.
