A vintage is only created in exceptional years. 2008 was such a year in Champagne.
It was characterised by a cold winter - without being glacial - and a sullen and rainy spring. The harvest began mid-September, in dry and fresh weather, which offered perfect grape growing conditions. These high quality grapes revealed an incredible aromatic richness which would foresee an exceptional vintage. The skill of wine makers, and the passage of time, then contributed to some fabulous champagnes from many houses.
As with all special releases, there are only a limited number created - and still available. We have a small selection of 2008, with only a few remaining in most. If you're a collector, or simply a lover of the best in champagne, we urge you to secure one of these before they're gone forever.
