L'avis des experts
An amazing 2008 rosé Champagne that has all the structure and aromatic complexity - sushi ginger, oolong tea and caramelized mandarin orange - we associate with this vintage, but also has more charm than most. On the palate, this has stunning concentration, yet is diamond bright. The interplay of creaminess, fine tannins and mineral acidity builds and builds at the breathtaking finish. The color comes from about 7% pinot noir red wine, partly from the little-known Les Riceys in the far south of Champagne. Drink or hold.
The nose opens with oystershell saltiness, creaminess and fruity notions of Red Delicious apple flesh that is perfumed with blood orange. The palate is more slender than the nose suggests and expresses its richness in depth rather than breadth. There is a compelling white pepper savouriness that pervades the wine and seems to highlight its statuesque nature, its vivid freshness, its absolute poise. More air reveals hints of candlewax and candied orange. An aromatic and elegant marvel. (Anne Krebiehl MW)
At this age, the wine shows its maturity and richness. Dominated by a toasty, nutty character, the Champagne is underpinned by acidity and the merest hints of apple and red fruits. The wine is very ready to drink. (Roger Voss).
Fig and raspberry aromas with hints of verbena; citric fruits and cherry, plum and quince on the palate. Poised precision.
Disgorged in 2020, the newly released 2008 Brut Rosé unwinds in the glass with youthfully reticent notes of tart red berries, white flowers and citrus oil, framed by a touch of light reduction—which I suspect is accentuated by the wine's Diamant closure. Following the wine in my office, it was only on the third day that hints of plums and licorice began to emerge. Medium to full-bodied, taut and chiseled, it's concentrated and layered, with real cut and energy, but it's also borderline austere and will require patience to realize all its potential. When compared with the rich, demonstrative 2006, it was to be expected that the 2008 would represent a change of pace; but the contrast is even starker than I would have expected.
