A fun side by side to observe vintage variation. The 2006 was more full and round, with the 2008 more structured and lean (while still being a fairly rich style of wine, of course). The 2006 was also a brut vs the 2008 an extra brut, explaining some of the perceived difference in leanness. Both excellent wines, and the 2008 likely has a long aging curve ahead. Enjoy the 2006 right now though, it’s wonderful. Thought these wines would play well to a crowd - balanced, delicious, rich.

Sötfruktiga mognadstoner. Utan tvekan röda äpplen - hade jag druckit blint hade jag högst sannolikt gissat på Pinot. Härligt syra och pigg mousse, har ett långt liv framför sig. Utmärkt.

A profound and complex nose consisting of amongst others chalk, green apple, peach and yeast.
Very fresh and linear on the weighty palate. Brazing acidity with just a hint of something sweet. Longlasting finish.
