Champagne Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2007
Côte des Blancs, Champagne, FranceFrom the cellar. The 2007 is still showing exceptional, all this time along, and still with ample time to go. Unlike the racy and linear 2006, 2007 always had more depth (but without the over generosity of the 2008), and still holds the line clearly, with a long spire backboning, padded with ample toast, lemon curd, deep chalky lees, and juicy green apple leading a generous meringue core. The palate lingers long, trailing off with a fine, chalky shadow. *Note the price below is for the current release in market (2013).Tasted: 30 March 2025Tasted by: Prices:
Champagne Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2007
Côte des Blancs, Champagne, FranceCan the 2007 Blanc de Blancs be better than 2006? The folks at Taittinger think so, along with much of the trade who know the two vintages well. It has all the hallmark Taittinger traits: lemon zest, green apples, chalk, minerality, a luxurious creamy mousse with an electric wire of acidity running through the entire wine. It’s the purity and the elevated heights of the essence of chardonnay that set it apart from the norm. It was disgorged and topped up at nine grams dosage after spending nine years-plus on its lees. The finish is super long flecked with sea salt, ginger and honey. Not near ready to drink, and if well-cellared, it will keep through 2027. Textbook blanc de blancs, and the standard by which all others should be measured.Tasted: 24 September 2019Tasted by: Prices:
