Vintage 2008
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.

The house to this day is focused on making it wine first before a champagne. This is in direct contrast to other houses that make acidic base wines purely for the purpose of making champagne. One of the key winemaking techniques is the absence of malolactic fermentation. This preserves the pristine nature of the fruit and highlights its lively acidity and bracing energy. The wines therefore, benefit from an extended time in the cellar to gain their full potential. They would certainly have the potential to develop in yours.

The result is a wine that changes every year and reflects the best of their combined efforts and the offerings of Mother Nature. Cuvée No. 740 accounts for 90% of their production, which sits at 280,000 bottles.

To this day, Jean-Hervé Chiquet has no idea why his father planted chardonnay in Dizy in 1960, nor even from where he obtained it, as there was no chardonnay in the village at the time. No one believed good chardonnay could be grown here, and it was discovered only by the Chiquet's when a 1995 vin clair stood out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven today, Jean-Hervé still describes it as ‘chardonnay from the wrong place that should not be this good!’ And he still has no idea why. The profound mineral impression of this wine is inexplicable, from a site with chalk no less than 2.5 metres under the surface (very much deeper than in neighbouring Aÿ or any of the great crus of the Côte des Blancs), in a village unrecognised for chardonnay of structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver half a century, these old vines have tapped so deep into the terroir that the voice of the soil speaks above the tones of the fruit and the expression of the barrels. Its violent, deep, frothing, salty minerality is a revelation, infusing the palate with immense texture, drawn out with incredible persistence by the high-tensile acid cut of 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifted, primary lemon tang leaps from the glass with freshness impossible for a decade of age, a shard of purity that remains transfixed with profound line and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor all of its tension and crunch, the ripeness of the house delivers wonderful presence of almost ripe white nectarine, white peach and layers of spice. Nine years on lees has united every detail in seamless texture, playing out an intense background track to its mineral solo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt least the equal of the soaring 2002, 2008 represents the greatest Corne Bautray yet, a stunning blanc de blancs with an effortless 20-year future before it.

To this day, Jean-Hervé Chiquet has no idea why his father planted chardonnay in Dizy in 1960, nor even from where he obtained it, as there was no chardonnay in the village at the time. No one believed good chardonnay could be grown here, and it was discovered only by the Chiquet's when a 1995 vin clair stood out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven today, Jean-Hervé still describes it as ‘chardonnay from the wrong place that should not be this good!’ And he still has no idea why. The profound mineral impression of this wine is inexplicable, from a site with chalk no less than 2.5 metres under the surface (very much deeper than in neighbouring Aÿ or any of the great crus of the Côte des Blancs), in a village unrecognised for chardonnay of structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver half a century, these old vines have tapped so deep into the terroir that the voice of the soil speaks above the tones of the fruit and the expression of the barrels. Its violent, deep, frothing, salty minerality is a revelation, infusing the palate with immense texture, drawn out with incredible persistence by the high-tensile acid cut of 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifted, primary lemon tang leaps from the glass with freshness impossible for a decade of age, a shard of purity that remains transfixed with profound line and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor all of its tension and crunch, the ripeness of the house delivers wonderful presence of almost ripe white nectarine, white peach and layers of spice. Nine years on lees has united every detail in seamless texture, playing out an intense background track to its mineral solo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt least the equal of the soaring 2002, 2008 represents the greatest Corne Bautray yet, a stunning blanc de blancs with an effortless 20-year future before it.

Run by the Chiquet family since purchasing the property in 1978, brothers Jean-Herve and Laurent are at the helm and creating a different form of magic in their region of Dizy. Have you ever considered yourself a bit of a 'rebel' or a non-conformist at heart? Are you a perfectionist with ridiculous attention to detail? If so, you will comfortably align with the philosophy and beliefs of the Chiquet brothers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost, in fact all champagne houses create a non-vintage blend which aims at having a consistent ‘house-style’ year in year out, blending across multiple vintages and reserves to make the wine homogenous even if the year brings in extraordinary fruit. To the brothers Chiquet, they couldn’t quite accept a dumbing down of the wine to suit a style so instead, they decided to work with the best of that given year and change from making their ‘NV’ given the code ‘Cuvée No. 740 (base year: 2012)’ instead. The result is a wine that changes every year and reflects the best of their combined efforts and the offerings of Mother Nature. Cuvée No. 740 accounts for 90% of their production, which sits at 280,000 bottles. Although not organic, they are very hands-on in the vineyard and more non-interventionist in the winery which means, lower sulphur, low sugar addition (extra brut) across the range and no filtration which upholds both body and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend top quality Caviar such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gourmetlife.com.au\/collections\/caviar\/products\/black-river-siberian-caviar-imperial-100gr\" title=\"Black River Russian Caviar Josh Rea Gourmet life\"\u003eBlack River Russian Caviar\u003c\/a\u003e from Siberia and lots of it.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
