Vinous - Score: 94 (2019 Jul.)

The 2008 Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Mareuil-sur-Aÿ is a blend of three parcels in Val au Froid lieu-dit within Clos des Goisses. Pretty, delicate and understated, with lovely Pinot character and tons of nuance, the 2008 is super-expressive today. Sweet red cherry, Mirabelle, wild flowers add striking aromatic presence to play off a core of pliant fruit. This is one of the more open-knit, accessible 2008s readers will come across. Dosage is 4.25 grams per liter. Disgorged: August, 2019.
