Note di degustazione
The 2008 Brut Vintage is showing well, mingling aromas of toasted nuts, brioche and honeycomb with hints of yellow orchard fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it's textural and fleshy, with a rich core of fruit and fine mid-palate amplitude, underpinned by a racy spine of acidity and complemented by a pinpoint mousse. Some 5% of the vins clairs were vinified in foudre. This is one of only two vintage releases from Veuve Clicquot in the first decade of the new millennium. (WK)

Disgorged January 2016 and launched later that year. (The 2012 will be launched end 2019.) 61% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Meunier. Dominique Demarville is concentrating on power for the vintage 2008, for which foudres are being used for 5% of the blend. Rich, round and approachable. Charming and intense and powerful. For food. Big and friendly. Much more forward than many 2008s. (JR)
A very upright, fresh and youthful vintage for Clicquot with lemon citrus, peach and almond nougat aromas. The palate has a brisk acid punch – assertive in 2008. Crisp lemon and peach fruit flavors hold bright, and there is some oyster shell chalkiness, too, leading into a warming, grilled nut-flavored finish.
Very pale. Light nose but very tight on the palate. Pretty youthful but there is lots in here. Need to drill for it at the moment. Promising and dense. But not yet ready. (JR)
