Muskuløs og fyldig champagne med tydelig mineralitet og terroirpreg på duft. Allerede ganske åpen på duft. Konsentrert smak. Flott vin som drikker bra nå men bør vel lagres noen år for å komme helt til sin rett.

Helt ok, upplevde dock en något skum bismak när flaskan var nyöppnad. Sparade mer än hälften av flaskan till dagen efter och då var den bidmaken borta och vinet hade öppnat upp dig och smakade bättre. Ok syra och viss nötighet men lite mindre mognadstoner än förväntat.

World Cup final BBQ: Quite heady for a 2008, the ripe yellow fruit is at the forefront rather than the acidity. We were evenly divided between house and grower on this so guess the style is in between.

Backlog. Brioche, citrus and green apples. Dry. Incredibly crisp! Citrus, pear and honey on the palate. Everlasting dry and citric exit. I think we just killed a baby..Looking foreward to follow the developement of this one👍🍾

Bursdagsfeiring og freden har senker seg. Kraftig lukt med litt stikkende knust stein og kålrot. Salt frukt med eple, fast ettersmak. Litt voldsom og litt ute av balanse. Tobakk. 1 dag o flaske: mjødurt og solid frukt med sitrus og eple

Heftig syre, god kompleksitet. Ganske lang. Fikk bare et lite glass i forbindelse med at samfunnet gjenåpnet, så den viste seg nok ikke helt fra sitt beste.

Entering its drinking window and doing so nicely. Strong acidity still but only medium mousse. Good fruit. A good Champagne without a long finish. No need to cellar this for many years.

Jag var mycket nyfiken på denna då jag minns att André Clouet Millesimé 2008, som gick att få tag på för några år sedan, var otroligt god i sin prisklass under 400kr. Denna är bra. Klar 90+/100. Grundsmaken är riktigt bra och den är väldigt drickbar/lättillgänglig redan nu. Köptes för 479kr. Prisvärd, men kanske inte så mycket mer idag. Med lagring möjligen. Den är trots allt av årgång 2008, som ju är smått legendarisk redan, och därför medför högre pris. Jag köper gärna fler men den håller inte samma höga klass som t ex Egly-Ouriet, som dock kostar 200kr mer.

Made from Côte des Blancs Chardonnay that André Clouet gets in exchange for Bouzy Pinot Noir.
Medium-deep lemon yellow color. Quite developed, somewhat tired and not particularly attractive nose with straightforward aromas of woolly lanolin, some mealy white apples, a little bit of chopped almonds and a hint of yeast. The wine is medium-bodied, tightly-wound and somewhat austere on the palate with underwhelming - even rather mute - flavors of chalky bitterness, sourmilk, some mealy white apple and a hint of yeast. The mousse feels moderately ample and quite sharp, but only medium in length. The acidity falls a bit on the short side. The finish is long, dry and quite acid-driven with rather lean flavors of grapefruit, mealy white apples, some lactic sourmilk and yoghurt tones and a leesy hint of yeast.
A rather mediocre Blanc de Blancs with really understated and austere overall character. The nose showed some developed characteristics, but otherwise the wine was pretty dull - even mute - which made us wonder if this wine was aged in less than optimal conditions or just suffering from a minuscule amount of TCA (i.e. not high enough to show, but still able to kill all the fruit). It's hard to assess whether the wine is in sound condition when you haven't tasted it before, but since some previous TNs have noted its lack of depth and somewhat developed character, I'm willing to accept that this is the way the wine is supposed to be. I wonder if further cellaring might be of any remedy? Now the wine felt just quite nondescript and underwhelming.

SLDS February 2017: Mint, herb, toast and yeast. Quite astringent on the palate, with the acidity riding high across the length. Lacks a little in depth, and while it seems simple, there is some refreshment value within.

(Disgorged in August 2016) More mature than anticipated with oxidative notes of apples and cream. Palate shows creaminess and hints of vanilla. It's a good cuvée, but with too much development already and showing too much oxidative notes for my taste. This bottle was very different from the last one a couple of months ago which makes me wonder about quality. Best 2016-2021.

Dag 1: En överväldigande syra med omogna krusbär dominerade hela smakspektrat. Dag 2: Syran hade dämpats till förmån för flädertoner. Mycket mer harmoniskt, om än lite trött.
Behöver nog få ligga till sig några år till.

(Disgorged in September 2016) Youthful nose showing minerals, lemon and a hint of nuts. Very youthful and light on the palate showing lemon acidity and with a creamy mousse and showing some flint. Distinct, but shorter, finish showing some lemon peel in a fine way. Naturally this isn't reminiscent of André Clouet in any way, since it's made by Chardonnay and not Pinot Noir, and also the cuvée is bought. But despite that this cuvée is suffering from post-disgorgement stress and will likely be much better in a month or so. It's not showing the same power and intensity that many other 2008's show at the moment and feels more like a 2009 showing more finesse and lighter notes. Still a good showing.

Munskänkarna Göteborg Champagne-class, session 9, flight 2.
As good as the 2002 already. Very young, and needs time. It has great champagne carachter, long and balanced apple fruit, integrated acidity provides great backbone for cellariing. I thing this one will earn 1-2 Points in five years or so.

Yellow
Mature notes, bread, mushrooms,
On the palate high acidity, apple, long lemon aftertaste.
Might need some time to lower the acidity.

After the 2004 now the 2008...
delicious bouquet, yeastiness ...
acidity is still quite high, good texture and fine bubbles but for me personally missing the aging.
Definitely prefer the 2004 at the moment, the 2008 will disappear in the cellar for a while.
