The 2008 vintage is warm yet fresh the perfect expression of the continental climate inChampagne. Comtes 2008 embodies the contrast in climate between sunshine and cooltemperatures, giving an intense, crystal-clear evocation of the chalky terroir of the Cote des Blancs Grands Crus from which it derives its identity, its appearance and its precision. Harvesting took place in the sunshine, though relatively cool temperatures, from 15 September to 10 October, which meant the grapes were ripe and very healthy.

This case of wine was originally destined to be loaded onto Qantas aircraft and enjoyed inflight but due to our reduced flying we are now offering it to our customers to purchase and enjoy at home.

The cardboard box you receive the wine in may have a warehouse sticker on it (we use this to help us manage the wine in our network) and the bottle may have a Qantas back label.
