Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Gift Box 2014
The year 2014 revealed itself late in fact, it was one of the last vintages to be harvested in October. Spring was slow to arrive after an especially long and cold winter. By mid-April, an exceptional summer began: warm, dry and bright, with over 800 hours of sunshine a record for Champagne! The grapes developed with remarkable strength and vitality. A few light showers in early September helped the bunches gain in volume and ripeness.
6% - 8% of wines aged in barrels for 4-6 months.
Scallop carpaccio, blue lobster, salmon roe, sole meunière pear. Brillat-Savarin cheese and spice-roasted apple/pear.
On the palate, the bubbles leave a gentle caress with a hint of zest and passion. This Comtes de Champagne 2014 offers a superb, mouthwatering freshness, an excellent structure with light components, refined bitter notes, and a long, saline finish.
On the nose, we encounter a Comtes de Champagne that opens with a chalky, briny, mineral feel; aromas that connect us to the love of the terroir from which it was born. Then the nose expands into toasted notes of brioche and pastries flavoured with lemon meringue, hazelnut and almond. Once the wine has breathed, the 2014 millésime expresses its full energy in notes of citrus, white flowers, white fruit and aromatic botanicals.
