Special Club Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay 2008

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2008 Special Club pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing and somewhat shy but there’s citrus, white peach, brioche and a rather fascinating smell that reminded me of a built-up roof. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose however here, it’s much richer and expansive. The finish is long. Young? Probably. Drink now through 2038. No disgorgement data. — 21 hours ago

Bruised apples and bread that was just fabulously balanced by the acidity. I would have scored higher if the bubbles were more present. — 2 months ago

This winery no longer exists, per se. it was sold years ago to grant- the owner of Aonair. He named it Reverie 2. This wine is maybe 2-3yr past its prime. But pretty and resolved. — 13 days ago
