Remy Massin Millesime Extra Brut 2008
Proprietary Blends | France
Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Retail $70, down to $60 and $50 if you buy 6! Incredible! Grab it quick, though! Throw this SUPERB 2008 in a lineup of the "heavy hitters" of Champagne and prepare to be astonished! Your humble scribe thinks this is the finest wine ever produced by this house favorite grower producer. This my friends, is WORLD-CLASS. The planets aligned in 2008 to create one of the most epic Champagne vintages in decades, in my opinion, surpassing the great 2002 vintage, and on par with all-time great vintages like 1990 and 1996.
It’s hard to find this wine much outside of France, where it is one of the top-selling, “insider” bubblies to be had. We got our small allocation and are STOKED to offer it to you today. We literally had to beg and plead for the winery to release this small parcel to us, the last of their stock!
About the Producer
Champagne Remy Massin et fils is the result of a traditional know-how inherited from the last five generations of wine-growers. Since 1865 they have been tending vines in Ville-sur-Arce in the Cote des Bar. Remy Massin was created in 1974 joined by his children Sylvere, who studied viticulture oenology, and Florence, who took charge of the administrative part of the business, the export and the shipment management. While this producer remains under-the-radar in the states, the bistros of Paris have long guzzled this incredible elixir. We at First Bottle are huge fans and you should be too!
