2013 | Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Brut | Champagne Sercial Salty and savory on theThe 2014 Comtes de Champagne is pristine. 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. The 2014 can be enjoyed now or cellared. Dosage is 9 grams
