July 6, 2022 - Entry level my tooshy! Don't know if it's 2008 magic, or Cedric magic...but this is a fine bottle of suds here! Starts out with a fresh burst of lemon and grapefruit squeeze...cut with tiny tingly bubbles...a little ginger snap zip...the fruit is ample and quite crystalline...peach, quince, crisp apple...some cherry...age has brought on a wonderful calm sheen of honey butter, dried apple rings, ginger almond creme...not much of a mousse, yet still creamy. There is this great play of youthful and bright sours to some nuanced ox and lees...kind of reminds me what Krug 164 might me like in 10 more years? Chalky minerality, impeccable balance...really drinking elegant and attention getting...what can I say...I LOVE THIS WINE!

December 27, 2019 - Pretty spectacular bottle. These wines are a little strange because they have the richness, in this case both from the '08 vintage and the style of the wine, that drinks like a high-end vintage Champagne, but it is missing the strong autolytic notes and the chalkiness. Age has tamed some of the more overt fruitiness that I can get from younger versions. Deep and resonant, the "Burgundy with bubbles" label is very apt in this case. This is the oldest and best Val Vialine that I've had, but I'm not sure if this is a bit of an outlier because the '08's are so strong.
