It&#8217;s a fresh, quite complex wine with lovely focus.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first vintage made by current chef de caves Dominique Demarville, and the combination of his skill and the good raw material he&#8217;s working with has resulted in a really lovely wine. The blend here is 61% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Meunier. A small amount (5%) was fermented in large oak, and dosage is 8 g\/litre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Champagne Veuve Clicquot Vintage 2008 France<\/strong><br \/>\n12% alcohol. Fresh, lively and detailed with a hint of grapefruit pith and white peach. The core, though, is the lovely lemony fruit. Taut and linear with some toastiness and a hint of cherry, but very compact and linear with potential for future development. Nice precision here. 92\/100<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a short film of me tasting it:<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vy1-eT73Mnc?rel=0\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><br \/>\nFind this wine with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the new Vintage cuv\u00e9e from Veuve Clicquot, and it&#8217;s really good.
