From the producer: The goal of this cuvée is to obtain great taste sensations after a longer lees time than the rest of the range (about 10 years minimum). For this, we select grapes from our greatest terroirs, 1/3 come from Ay (Pinot Noir), and 2/3 come from Mesnil-sur-Oger and Avize (Chardonnay). This bottle only exists in the greatest Champagne vintages (currently 2008, then 2012, 2018, 2019 in the future...).

Robert Parker

"Disgorged over a year ago with 0.8 grams per liter dosage, the 2008 Extra-Brut Grand Cru Les Lumières is a striking Champagne, unwinding in the glass with scents of pear, citrus oil, freshly baked bread, mandarin orange, almonds and buttery pastry. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's layered and muscular, with an immensely concentrated core of fruit, racy acids and a long, resonant finish. As I've written before, this cuvée is a blend of first-press juice: two-thirds Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger and one-third Pinot Noir from prime holdings in Aÿ." —Robert Parker
