Aubry de Humbert Brut 2008 (750ML)

94 AG / 92 WS

The 2008 Brut Nature Aubry de Humbert is one of the standouts in a range full of exciting wines. Dried lemon peel, chamomile, dried flowers, yellow orchard fruits and a kiss of French oak all inform this resonant, deeply expressive Champagne. The Aubrey de Humbert is one of the more extroverted and overly powerful wines in the Aubry range but it has plenty of the freshness, verve and detail that makes these Champagnes so compelling. The blend is 30% each Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, with dollops of Arbanne and Petit Meslier that round out the blend. Disgorged in June 2016 with no dosage. - Antonio Galloni

Firm and racy, this well-meshed version offers flavors of white raspberry, biscuit and lime blossom riding a fine, silky mousse. Zesty finish. Disgorged November 2016. Drink now through 2030. 10 cases imported. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator
