A very complete nose of brioche, citrus and apple pie. In the mouth air is needed to really give this a chance to strut its stuff. Prominent but not overwhelming acid at first but an hour of air makes this as round as a beach ball. The palate starts to duplicate the nose with an hour or so of time. Another positive ‘08 champagne ,with upside from here.

A lovely nose of bright sparky lemon and yeast. The palate has sweet edges with bright fruit/ perhaps not as exciting as the nose. A good while ahead. Decent.

Had this one before a couple of years ago, and got a bit disappointed. But this vintage has really improved. Lovely with a great deal of complexity. Green apples, chalk, gun powder, salty crackers, chanterelle. Good champagne is indeed one of the wines that really thrives at this age. What a pleasant surprise from this great house.

2 bottles enjoyed, elegant and starting to show a bit of broiche, red apples, rye bread, grilled lemon and a bit of grapefruit. Good wine.

Oväntat linjär och inte så spännande 08 från pålitliga Henriot. Välgjord men behöver nog lagras en del för mer djup.
