Taittinger Comtes De Champagne Brut 2014

The Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2014 is the prestige cuvée of the house, representing the pinnacle of their Chardonnay-driven style. Unlike the standard Vintage Brut, this is a 100% Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs) sourced exclusively from five Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs.

97 Points - James Suckling

Apricots, hazelnuts, lemons, white flowers, sliced almonds and hints of licorice on the nose. It's creamy and layered, with soft, rounded bubbles that spread across the palate. Lovely balance of breadth, ripeness and freshness, with delicious wildflower honey and nut notes lingering. 100% grand cru chardonnay from Avize, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant and Chouilly. Drink or hold.

96 Points - Wine Spectator

A textbook blanc de blancs Champagne, with a rich waft of toasted hazelnut on the nose, plus a voluptuous range of poached apricot, quince paste, tangerine peel and brioche notes that expand on the finely detailed mousse. Focused by well-cut acidity, this is long and mouthwatering, with fragrant spice, mineral and floral accents on the finish. Drink now through 2040
