Veuve Clicquot Vintage 2008

Veuve Clicquot Vintage 2008

Veuve Clicquot Vintage 2008 is the first Vintage to be aged in wood barrels. It intensifies the natural aromas of wines and adds some spicy notes on the palate.

As with every Vintage, this wine is a reflection of the year's weather and climate. 2008 ended wonderfully with the grapes maturing in ideal conditions. The harvests, grouped together throughout Champagne, took place between Mid-September and early October, in perfect weather. The quality of this harvest was exceptional, with great potential for aging. Naturally then, 2008 was declared a Veuve Clicquot Vintage, the third in the decade following 2002 and 2004 and the House's 65th since its first Vintage of 1810. New to this 2008 Vintage: 5% of the wines were produced and aged in wooden casks from forests in Central France, from Allier and Vosges. This was to increase the complexity and aromatic richness of our Vintages, our gourmet wines. These cask-aged wines act as the spices for the blend. They bring very lightly woody, vanilla and toasted aromas.

Disclaimer: If 2008 vintage is no longer available, the most current vintage will be shipped.
