2014 Taittinger Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne $449
'[..] In this tasting, it comes across as a mini-2008, similar in its linear personality, with just a touch more mid-palate creaminess. Readers will find a Comtes that plays in the realm of tension and energy. Citrus confit, white flowers, chalk, mint and chamomile are all finely sketched. Light tropical overtones grace the finish. What an absolute delight. [..]' 97 points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
'[..] What is showstopping about this wine is that it is an absolute beauty from the tips of its toes to the last fibre of its being. [..] I demand, and only react to, an exultant level of pristine fruit and seamless palate texture that this 2014 (and a handful of previous vintages) offer, and in addition, the finish, tension, and, ultimately, the pay-off, which is evinced in a sensational flavour memory which encapsulates the legend of this wine and its reputation, is complete.' 19.5/20 Matthew Jukes
