Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs

Champagne

Champagne, brut

The nose is fruity with yellow apples, peach, mango and tangerines. It is mineral with limestones and shale. The autolysis is clean and elegant with bun dough and black tea. It is complex, silky and elegant. The palate is medium-bodied, light, airy and silky, while also being a bit creamy. It is intensely fruity, and acidic in a fine balance. The finish is long and complex. It is a lovely Champagne that is great to drink now, but which can be aged for another 10 years. It is slightly behind the 2008 vintage, but far better than the 2006.

Ekspert

var meget konsentrert og fyldig med pen syre og mineralitet. Allerede utviklede modningsaromaer (93+)

Amatør

PnP. Lys gul på farge, klar og ren  med massevis av kremete bobler. 
Dufter av grøne epler og bakt sitron og etterhvert brioch og lett steinfrukt. Dybden utvikles i glasset og vinen samler seg raskt etter en lett kaotisk start. Fersk og frisk med medium pluss syre. Kraftig anslag og lang ettersmak og overraskende fyldig. Mineralsk og presis og man kan bare ane potensialet her for dette er pur ungt. 
Poengverdien gjenspeiler kveldens opplevelse og forventes å stige. 
Bdb med druer fra 5 grand cru-marker (Cramant, Avize, Oger, Chouilly og Mesnil-sur-Oger). Noe av basevinen er fermentert i eik.

CdC is one of my absolute favorite champagnes. I have therefore looked forward to tasting this. The nose is fruity with yellow apples, oranges and tangerines. It is mineral with salt and wet shale. The autolysis is clean and complex with brioche and green tea. It is silky and elegant. 

The palate is silky, fruity, acidic and nicely balanced. It has a lovely mouthfeel, but will develop more weightlessness with further ageing. 

The finish is long and complex. It paired perfectly with Oscietra caviar.

almond, minerals, toast, lemon, honey, flint, grapefruit, orange, apple, yellow apple, pear, vanilla, butter, brioche, cream, cheese, tropical, acacia, perfume, mint, dried apricot, raspberry, pineapple, lemon zest and some lime. This is something really elegant with one of the nicest toasts I have experienced. Discrete citrus balanced with lovely nuttiness and minerality. Great balance and concentration done with finesse and skills. I guess this will get even better with more time.

Markant Comtes de Champagne nese med søtlig bakst, gule stenfrukter, smørblomst og lett lanolin, små delikate bobler, medium pluss syre, høy konsentrasjon, rik fruktprofil, mot tropisk, mangler spenst og nerve, men det er vel årgangen.. 

Drikker fint nå, og tror denne ikke vil ha vondt av å få en god del år til, som mange varme årganger ofte har.

The nose is fruity with yellow and slightly green apples, and it is citrus like mandarin. The autolysis is clean and with bun dough. It is incredibly appealing and elegant. The palate is lean, but also velvety and silky. It is an intense fruit and a nice balancing acidity. 2004 can often be a little green, but there are no signs of that here. The finish is long fruity and acidic. It is perfect to drink now, but also has a long future. 96 points. // Sep '21: The nose is silky and elegant. It is intensely fruity with green apples, apricots, tangerines and oranges. It is a blend of green and tropical fruits. It is mineral with shale and salt. The autolysis is clean and very elegant with bread dough. The palate is light, silky, creamy, intensely fruity, acidic, mineral and incredibly elegant. It is complex and balanced. The finish is long and complex. This must be among the best Champagnes in this vintage, and at least the best I have tasted. 96 points.

sjelden pen balanse mellom syre og frukt til å være 96 - begynnende modningsaromaer - intens - stor champagne (96)
