Rich and decadent - like biting into brioche with lemon curd drenched on it. Will be ready to drink for decades to come.

Regardless of vintage it never disappoints. Beautiful combination of yeast and minerals with fruit playing a supporting role. Solid core of acidity. I’m sure more life ahead but enjoy now while your ‘06 & ‘08 mature

Grass, brioche and plenty of mid palate weight... A great prestige cuvée for current drinking.

There's been so many Comtes in the last few years; can't complain... evolved yet racy, this is in a great spot at present.
