Rene Geoffroy Cuvee Volupte Brut 2008 (750ML)

94 JS / 92 AG

Attractive lime pickle and grapefruit on the nose with a light pastry and spiced berry edge. The palate has intense, punchy appeal, with succulent and powerful fruit and acid drive. Stony finish. Drink now. - James Suckling

Geoffroy's 2008 Brut Cuvée Volupté is pointed and tightly wound, with persistent veins of minerality that give the wine its spine. Even so, there is no shortage of breadth and pure power. With time in the glass, the fruit blossoms nicely. There is plenty of vintage 2008 character, even if the Volupté at times tilts towards the burlier side of things. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
