2008 Champagne in da’ HOUSE! One of the greatest Champagne vintages of the last century, and aged for 15 years on the lees, this newly released, 97 POINT Champagne is a vibe, y’all…and that vibe is PERFECTION! 

2008!!! Leave it to the folks at Champagne Gardet to carefully sit on one of the greatest bottlings in their illustrious 130 years history for almost two decades! The wait is officially over, good people — and one of the very latest releases of the STUNNING 2008 vintage is here at long last! FIFTEEN YEARS on the lees…and a full 18 years since harvest…just now released — can you even imagine?!?! Buried in the labyrinthian crypts beneath the postcard-perfect Champagne village of Chigny-les-Roses, some 100+ feet beneath the chalk, clay, and limestone soils of the Montagne de Reims, this tête de cuvée FLAGSHIP has been patiently transforming into something truly magical…and we got some!

97 POINTS! This is a highly collectible and eminently drinkable Champagne that was recently awarded a revered gold medal at the Champagne Masters — a prestigious blind tasting by Masters of Wine from around the globe, pitting Champagne’s top tête de cuvées head-to-head — with one Master of Wine calling it “beautifully fresh…well-defined, complex and long.” YES!!! The fact that we’ve got this at OVER 50% OFF borders on the unbelievable…but you’d better fly if you want to secure some.

We’ve been Champagne Gardet MEGA-FANS for years — and many of y’all know firsthand, the quality across this entire portfolio is simply off-the-charts good. This best-o’-the-best blend of 70% Chardonnay from Grand and Premier Cru sites in the Côte des Blancs, plus 30% Pinot Noir from Premier Cru plots in the Montagne de Reims is jaw-droppingly delicious — with that insane balance of bright, penetrating, orchard fruit freshness, and warm, toasty nuttiness — all brilliantly interspersed with an array of fresh stone fruits, and exotic baking spices, and crisp minerality…just GLORIOUS!!! You could sip this thoughtfully for hours on end — but that ultra-fine bubbly texture, and the saliva-inducing intensity makes this pretty hard to be patient with…it’s waited long enough!!! 

But oh-so-very WORTH IT!!! 97 POINTS and over 50% OFF!!! Get your 2008 Champagne on, my friends…while it lasts!!!
