The 2008 Extra Brut Côtes en Bosses (magnum) emerges from a northeast-facing parcel in Port-à-Binson planted predominantly to Meunier, with some Pinot Noir and Chardonnay coplanted. Sweet floral, kirsch and spice aromatics are immediately enticing. Brisk, salivating acids confer notable energy throughout. The dense, vinous style is further enhanced by the low dosage of 2 grams per liter. There is plenty to admire in the 2008. I would open it well in advance, if at all possible. Disgorged: July, 2019
