Clos Du Mesnil 2008 is a vintage blanc de blancs Champagne consisting entirely of grand crus chardonnay grapes. The harvest of 2008 afforded grapes with intense freshness and elegant expression that made for beautifully structured wines.
Nose: On the nose there are notes of citrus, lightly toasted aromas, orange madeleine and the menthol signature of this small plot.
Palate: On the palate there is citrus in all its forms and grapefruit skin give way to ripe and candied citrus flavors and notes of barley sugar, with a delightful bitterness. This champagne is elegant and chiselled, all the while silky and generous.
