Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2005
Shows lovely balance, with a chinalike backbone of acidity, finely meshed with a creamy mousse and rich and toasty flavors of roasted hazelnut, creamed apple, lemon parfait and spun honey. A vein of smoky minerality echoes on the finish. Drink now through 2028. 700 cases imported. Wine Spectator

Rich and decadent - like biting into brioche with lemon curd drenched on it. Will be ready to drink for decades to come.

Regardless of vintage it never disappoints. Beautiful combination of yeast and minerals with fruit playing a supporting role. Solid core of acidity. I’m sure more life ahead but enjoy now while your ‘06 & ‘08 mature

Grass, brioche and plenty of mid palate weight... A great prestige cuvée for current drinking.

There's been so many Comtes in the last few years; can't complain... evolved yet racy, this is in a great spot at present.
