1999 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs
1999 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs
|
|
Top Champagne in the over $100 section in Cuisine and listed at $427- $459 in the Cuisine. A major deal on this top class champagne. 95/100 from Parker who writes "The 1999 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages. A small portion of the wine is aged in barrel. The 1999 is an absolutely delicious Comtes de Champagne that needs to be opened at least an hour or two in advance to show at its finest. Smoke, citrus, mint and flowers are some of the nuances that emerge from this fresh, fragrant Champagne. Deceptively lithe on the palate, the wine blossoms with air as it fills out with endless layers of perfumed fruit. The wine can be enjoyed today, even if it comes across as a touch sweet. With time, that sweetness will develop into the liqueur-like perfume that makes older Comtes de Champagne so irresistibly alluring. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2029.
