Champagne connoisseurs are celebrating the release of perhaps the greatest Champagne vintage in living memory, the 2008—’The greatest Dom Pérignon vintage ever produced,’ writes the world’s leading Champagne critic, Tom Stevenson. ‘Phenomenal,’ say Berry Bros & Rudd. ‘Fabulous,’ says Antonio Galloni. The clamour for the 2008 is so great it is already in limited supply and ‘on allocation’ to wine retailers—so we are delighted to announce that Dom Pérignon have included CountryClubuk in their allocations, to make sure our Members do not miss out on the world’s greatest vintage Champagne.

Writes Chris Lamb, Private Account Manager at BBR, ‘Wow! The nose unravels gracefully, revealing lemon zest and greengage, with a richness of toasted hazelnuts underneath. Hints of spiced orange peel come through with a little aeration. Marked with crystalline purity, flavours of crunchy green apple and acacia bounce off the tongue, with a remarkably fine effervesce throughout. The mid-palate brings a wealth of red-apple-skin and white peach, lifted by lemon-infused acidity, flourishing with mineral notes of wet stones and oyster-shell. The finish is sensational, going on and on. Vivacious, powerful and tightly coiled, this is a phenomenal Dom Pérignon. A Champagne lover’s dream—beg, borrow or steal to secure a case.’

The retail price is already £150 a bottle, which adds up to £900 per case of six. Through the Club, not only can you be sure to acquire a case of this prized vintage Champagne, you can do so at the Members’ exclusive price of £689 per case of six bottles delivered.
