Description

2011 Champagne Taittinger, Comtes de Champagne, Blanc de Blancs, BrutThe 2011 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne is superb with generous, bright aromas of lemon cream, stone fruits, baked pastry and almonds. The palate has a subtle verve: rich but not overbearing and its weight is carried with deftness and elegance. There is freshness here and a fine mousse brings a lively energy. Beautiful acidity and with extraordinary length, it finishes with a twist of salinity leaving you reaching for a second sip. Drink 2022 2038

poached pears and orange marmalade

Twenty percent of this wine was made in barrel this year

This is a fine Gevrey Villages that is worth thinking about

It might even be better than 2009

black pepper and charcuterie before drifting back to aromas of violets and lavender

and blackberries with highlights of rose

The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity

pistachio extract

It's got that extra gear of fruit but also of purity and balance

and some depth of hazelnuts from evolution
