Description

José Michel's Special Club 2008 is the house's prestige cuvée. It is a champagne of great finesse.

The José Michel house has been awarded the "haute valeur environnementale" (high environmental value) certification, a reward for its efforts to reduce the use of chemical treatments on the vines.

The Special Club 2008 is a blend of 50% Pinot Meunier and 50% Chardonnay from old vines over 70 years old, with low yields and highly concentrated aromas.

This champagne is vinified in stainless steel tanks from wines aged in oak barrels.

Dosed at 8g/l, José Michel's Special Club 2008 is a golden-hued champagne with fine, lively bubbles.

On the nose, the cuvée reveals complex aromatic notes of rose and white fruit, followed by a more mature touch of dried fruit and hazelnut.

On the palate, Special Club reveals an ample, silky texture, with a fruity structure complemented by hints of toast and a slight floral presence.

The finish is clean, intense and vibrant.

Created in 1971, the Club des Trésors de Champagne originally brought together a dozen of Champagne's finest winemakers. Their aim is to raise awareness of the singularities of vigneron champagnes, which is why from the outset they decided to create a prestige champagne called Special Club. But each club member had to offer his or her best cuvée under the Special Club name.

And in 1988, to reinforce the visual identification of this cuvée, a specific bottle was adopted. Today, this bottle is still used by the 26 members of the Club des Trésors de Champagne.
