No need to be my long-winded self. Exactly what you expect from a great champagne in a great year. Upside from here..

Pale straw lemon color with frothy mousse and lively bead of bubbles, produced only in exceptional vintages, grapes from Cote des Blancs. A nose of fresh fruit with yeast, nutty notes and floral scents. On the palate flavors of peach, berry and citrus flavors, floral with biscuit tones. Great balance with acidity, delicate textures, long finish ending creamy with toasty smoky oak and chalky mineral character. Nice! Drinking well now!

15 person Champagne tasting with friends.
The Taittinger Comtes is one of my favorite cuvées. I had this at the property just over a year ago and I felt it wasn’t quite there yet. It showed much better for our tasting. Flashed similarly to their 2007 which is drinking beautifully. Had the smaller bubbles, precision and focus on the palate. Well crafted. For me, just made WOTN.

but the 2012 brought a little more depth, breadth and volume to the aromatics, mousse and palate ~ the citrus included mandarin and the yellow fruit included mirabelle and golden sultana ~ along w various other orchard fruits ~ loads of pastry and hazelnut as well

A little richer and more open than the 2012 with a little more brioche.

Great vintage for Comte that is drinking beautifully. This was rich, open showing pear, apple, brioche with a creamy mouth feel.

Sep 29th, 2024The 2012 will not disappoint. Long lasting fine bubbles with a creamy mousse. Aromas of stone fruit, subtle green apple, and the slightest toasty notes. Do yourself a favor!
