Taittinger Champagne Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne 2007

This great 2007 vintage lives up to all expectations as soon asyou open the bottle. It is a moment to treasure. That typical Chardonnay color is there in all its sparkling, golden glory with shimmers of green coating the constant stream of fine,delicate bubbles. It has a fine and delicate nose which combines white blossom and a certain minerality with general overtones of Anjou light pear and golden raisins. Subtle hints of aniseed and smoky flavors follow this suggestion of fruit. The taste is vibrant, with a combination of lemon and saltiness. This is immediately followed by a sensation of complex, yet mellow freshness creating the perfect balance between ripeness anda full-rounded flavor. It is rounded off by a long-lasting, crisp finish with hints of salted butter.

This elegant wine lives up to its reputation with its freshness, strength, minerality and mellow fruitiness. Its freshness encapsulates a certain moment in timeand promises interesting cellaring potential.
