A blend of 61% Pinot Noir, of which 14% was red wine from the village of Bouzy, 34% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Meunier. After sitting on the lees for over six years, the wine was given a dosage of 8g/l. Vintage 2008 is the Manifesto of Dominique Demarille, who that year became Chef de Caves at Maison Clicquot.
In the glass the antique pink color is enhanced by copper hues while the intense nose has great finesse. The bouquet plays on notes between red currant and pomegranate with the freshness of tangerine and blood orange and a nuance of rooibos tea. The vibrant mouthfeel is still very young (even two years after being disgorged) and has spice and marine sensations, nuances of brioche and a chalky and saline tension, an indication that this vintage will offer great satisfaction to those who can forget they have it in their cellar… perhaps for as long as for that 1947.
