Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 30 Aug 19
Aromas of iodine, tangerine oil and citrus zest mingle with nuances of smoke, crushed chalk, walnut oil and freshly baked bread, introducing the 2008 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons, a full-bodied, tensile and tight-knit wine that's much more linear and incisive by comparison with the broader, fleshier 2009 that preceded it. Long, intense and searingly chalky, this is still a few years away from drinking at its peak, but its quality is already apparent.
Drinking Date: 2021 - 2038

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jul 18
The 2008 Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Speciale is a blend of fruit from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant. Deep, resonant and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2008 is super-impressive. I especially admire the way the wine fleshes out with a bit of air. Citrus, sage, menthol and dried flowers add nuance to what is a very powerful wine. The 2008 saw full malolactic fermentation, with some bâtonnage for added texture. This is a superb showing from the Rothschild family.

Champagne

Champagne, exclusively from France's Champagne region, is synonymous with luxury and celebration. Made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating its signature bubbles. Flavours range from crisp green apple and citrus to rich, toasty notes of nuts and honey. Yeast contact in the bottle contributes to pastry and brioche notes, which are a key part of good quality Champagne. Top producers include Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Krug.
