A fun side by side to observe vintage variation. The 2006 was more full and round, with the 2008 more structured and lean (while still being a fairly rich style of wine, of course). The 2006 was also a brut vs the 2008 an extra brut, explaining some of the perceived difference in leanness. Both excellent wines, and the 2008 likely has a long aging curve ahead. Enjoy the 2006 right now though, it’s wonderful. Thought these wines would play well to a crowd - balanced, delicious, rich.

Medium yellow in color. Toasted brioche, hazelnuts, yellow-orange citrus and spices on the nose. Broad and ample palate shows creamy citrus and pears, biscuits, toasted nuts, very good acidity and a long finish. A good food champagne.

Pigg mousse. Hög och bra syra. Bröd och bakad citron är några aromer. Mycket bra.

Gorgeous smell of brioche, nuts and brioche. Really fleshy and rounded, stone fruit and brioche. Lovely.
