Comtes De Champagne Vintage 2011

Comtes De Champagne Vintage 2011

The Taittinger Champagne House (Comtes de Champagne):
For hundreds of years, several of the great Champagne houses were and are known for producing Champagne that is generally heavy after years of aging and dominated in the taste by Pinot grapes.
Comtes de Champagne is Taittinger's top Cuvée and is only made in the best years.
Taittinger helped develop a Champagne that was lighter in style and more approachable than other producers.
Their top Champagne, Comtes de Champagne, is known to be one of the best Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) Champagnes. As seen on the name and label, this is a vintage champagne and it can be kept for many years, but can also be enjoyed today.

Comments from a tasting:

"this remarkable 2011 has a tauter and more fine-boned texture than usual, which is enhanced by bubbles of striking finesse and delicacy. This is indeed a very refined, chamber-music-like Comtes de Champagne that ends ethereally with airy harmonics and chalky notes infused with candied lemon.  "
