Peppery aroma, like a pink peppercorn mashed with berries. Fruity, full-bodied, and tannic, with a quality that almost reminds me of a hazy IPA. A bit too tannic and bitter for my normal tastes, but points for the surprising flavor profile. — 2 months ago

The 2008 Extra Brut Les Lumières Grand Cru is a blend of 65% Chardonnay (from Avize and Mesnil) and 35% Pinot Noir (from Aÿ) that spent ten years on its lees before being disgorged and given just the smallest touch of dosage. Creamy, resonant and expressive, the 2008 has so much to offer. Even so, it clearly needs at least a bit of time in bottle to be at its best. Tropical accents provide a hint as to where the 2008 will go over the next handful of years. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2019) — 5 years ago
