Monday, July 3, 2023 - not blind
together with CdM 2008 and CdC 2008

Comtes de Champagne 2008
the first we had. The easiest accessible, the sweetest one. Not annoying but maybe a hint too much. It will help in the next 2-3 decades to get him rounder and lasting. The "weakest" champagne was great and fun to drink. One of the best from this hyped vintage. I love this waffle style and burnt candy cotton. 97

CdM 2008 was very reluctant in the beginning. Very shy but after 2 hours it showed his beauty and uncopyable style. Lemon peel, a bit honey and no roasted aromas. The concentration is out of this world but the finish is elegant and extremely precise. Will be nice to drink these bottles again in 20 years. 99

VVF 2008
Compared to the 2013 I had 2 weeks before this is surprisingly more elegant maybe because it is more settled and balanced after a few years of disgorgement. Less chocolate than expected. In teh same league as CdM. I can't prefer one of them. Maybe the BdB will survive a bit longer. 99
