Tasting notes

Current Vintage: 2008*    Size: 750ml

Produced only in the very best years for Pinot Noir with a total production about 500 dozen bottles. Aged for 10 years on lees (disgorged 09/19) and finished with a Brut dosage of 7g/l.  "Bright floral and mineral accents drive the 2008 as it gradually opens with a bit of air. In 2008, the Comtesse exudes balance and a level of pedigree that makes it absolutely irresistible. It is one of the most elegant Champagnes I have ever tasted here. Drink 2020-2030."
