(Wine Advocate Score 94) The 2008 Extra Brut Grand Cru 1522 is also showing very well, offering up aromas of citrus, confit citrus, blackcurrants, marzipan and spice. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered and multidimensional core that marries the tangy acidic spine of the vintage with plenty of flesh and fruit, concluding with a long and chalky finish. While it's in a very different stylistic register to the 2009, the two are on a similar qualitative plane.

The blend: 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay. The Pinot Noir comes from our vineyard at "Le Leon" in Ay, and the Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger. A portion of the wines are vinified in wooden barrels without malolactic fermentation to preserve the wine's freshness, allowing it to develop complexity. Both ample and tangy, this cuvee is eminently suitable for low dosage, extra brut, with only 4.25 g/litre, which is just one third of the conventional dosage for a brut champagne. Aged for eight years. After this time, the freshness is still apparent, but the benefit of aging on lees has reached full potential.
