Météyer — Exclusif Vintage 2008

Exclusif Vintage 2008

Météyer | Prestige Cuvée | Vintage 2008

Anyone wanting to experience the exceptional 2008 vintage from a completely different perspective will find a fascinating alternative to the big houses in Météyer's Exclusif Vintage 2008.

While something like the Rare 2008 celebrates the grand art of assemblage, Météyer shows the soul of the Vallée de la Marne here. This champagne is shaped by old vines and a long rest in the cellar. In the glass, it displays a rich golden yellow – you can immediately see the maturity and concentration.

On the nose, ripe yellow fruits dominate, along with honey and those wonderfully warm brioche notes that come from extended lees aging. On the palate, it's beautifully full-bodied, almost creamy, but with that typical 2008 acid structure that keeps it incredibly precise and lively even after all these years. A wine that's perfect for an evening when you take your time and enjoy it at leisure.

Tasting Notes

Ripe yellow fruits, honey, and warm brioche notes define the nose. On the palate, full-bodied and creamy, yet precise and lively thanks to that 2008 acidity.
