Champagne Taittinger - Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs 2011

 

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2023
(around 210 euros per bottle)

Aspect

Golden, brilliant, sparkling with a thousand bubbles.

Nose

The Chardonnay, exclusive varietal carefully harvested by hand in 2011 in 5 Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs (Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger) disseminates its refined elegance, between white fruits compote, candied citrus fruits and outstanding spices.

Palate

The vertiginous and mineral purity, obtained by the selection of the first juices (cuvée) during the pressing of the grapes, gives way to a sensual fullness, result of 10 years of ageing of the bottles on laths, underlined by improbable woody notes.

With this Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs 2011, Alexandre Ponnavoy, cellar master of the Champagne house Taittinger, enhances the Chardonnay.
