Product Description
Taittinger makes Comtes de Champagne only in outstanding years; the 2015 is 100% Chardonnay from five Côte des Blancs grands crus: Avize, Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, with 6–8% aged in oak barrels for four to six months and ten years in the chalk cellars before release.
James Suckling gave it 97 points: "The purity of fruit is impressive for such a ripe year".
Antonio Galloni of Vinous, also at 97, wrote: "delicate, airy and wonderfully expressive. Lemon peel, white flowers, chalk, mint and slate are finely sculpted in the glass."
