Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2014
DOZEN: $5,340.00 or $445.00 each
Comtes de Champagne lives up to all expectations. Despite the difficult growing season, the result is shiny and coolly reserved - a classic Comtes. The underlying toastiness is there, waiting to be amplified over time. Fruitiness is pristine with lemon, lime and fruit candies mingling with crunchy pear and green apple notes. Immediately charming on the driven, airy palate of great refinement. A beautiful vintage for Comtes. (98) ESSI AVELLAN MW
The 2014 Comtes de Champagne is pristine. In this tasting, it comes across as a mini-2008, similar in its linear personality, with just a touch more mid-palate creaminess. Readers will find a Comtes that plays in the realm of tension and energy. Citrus confit, white flowers, chalk, mint and chamomile are all finely sketched. Light tropical overtones grace the finish. What an absolute delight. The 2014 can be enjoyed now or cellared. Dosage is 9 grams per liter. (97) ANTONIO GALLONI
