Continuing its strive for excellence, the House Barons de Rothschild announces its second millésime: the Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2008 which brilliantly embodies the elegance and delicacy of Chardonnay increased by the richness and the complexity of this exceptional year.
Faithfully respecting the characteristic of the House, the dosage of the Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2008 is extremely light; the liqueur, skilfully prepared by the Cellar Master, and the long period of ageing after disgorging (more than 12 months) enable the full expression of the Chardonnay and the exceptional harmony of this Cuvée. Matured on lees for 7 years, the blend is based on Chardonnay grapes taken from the best Grand Crus vineyards of the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger…
"This vintage Blanc de Blancs completes what is now a full range produced for all the Rothschild family-owned properties in Bordeaux. It is full of minerality as well as crisp intensity. The fruit is almost mature while still fresh and tangy. This textured Champagne will be best from 2020."
