Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2012

Der Comtes de Champagne 2012 braucht ein bischen Luft, da er anfangs sehr fest und mineralisch ist. Danach entfaltet er wunderbare Aromen von Apfel, Zitrone, Creme Brulee, Mandeln, Brioche und einen sehr cremigen Gaumen. Er hat das klassische genussorientierte Set Up von Comtes de Champagne, währen 2008 mineralischer ist und sich langsamer entwickelt. 

Antonio Galloni vinous.com 96 The 2012 Comtes de Champagne is gorgeous. Warm and resonant in the glass, the 2012 shows all the allure that makes this vintage so alluring so alluring. The combination of bright citrus, mineral and floral notes typical of Comtes, enhanced by the soft contours of the vintage, makes for an inviting open-knit champagne, that is quite showy right out of the gate. Light tropical accents on the finish add an exotic flair. Unusually I recommend cellaring just released Comtes, but that won't be necessary here.

Richard Juhlin champagneclub.com 96(94) A big lift in quality from the slightly lean 2011. Simply a classic and deliciously original Comtes. Lots of beauty right from the start, but store for five years yourself in your own cellar and you will be greeted by an even greater wealth of mint chocolate, coconut, honey, butterscotch and lime essence.
