The 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is showing beautifully out of the gates, offering up demonstrative aromas of sweet golden orchard fruit, buttery croissants, peach and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and enveloping, it's a rich, textural, vinous Comtes somewhat reminiscent of the brilliant 2002. If it gains in tension and cut (as the 2002 did and as I suspect the 2012 will) with more time on cork , it will make this initial rating seem conservative.

96 /100

This bottle of Taittinger's just-released 2007 Brut Comtes de Champagne Rosé was disgorged in December 2018, and it's showing brilliantly, unfurling in the glass with a complex bouquet of blood orange, minty raspberries, red plums, dried flowers and warm brioche. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, chalky and tensile, sharing a racy, chiseled profile with its Blanc de Blancs cousin. Deep, concentrated and tightly wound, the wine concludes with a long, sapid finish. This is an intense, racy Comtes Rosé with a long future ahead of it. As has been the norm chez Taittinger for several years now, the blend is based upon 70% Pinot Noir and includes 15% still red wine from Bouzy.

Robert Parker wine advocate

95 /100

Bright straw colour, silver reflections, very fine and persistent mousse. Nuances of yellow tropical fruit such as mango, notes of peach, white flowers, lime zest, almonds, multi-faceted bouquet with a hint of fresh cookie. Complex on the palate, finely-meshed, silky texture, conveys fruity richness without any opulence, full of finesse, very animating and balanced, white pome fruit in the finish, mineral-salty touch in the echo, great harmony and length, a great future for this wine. The problem is that the 2012 is already so perfect that it is hard to keep one's hands off it; it certainly has exciting aging potential.

About the grape

Chardonnay - Pinot Noir

Chardonnay - Pinot Noir – verdens fineste mousserende vine

Chardonnay - Pinot Noir blandes almindeligvis for at producere mousserende vine over hele verden. De bedste cuvées fremstilles typisk efter den traditionelle méthode champenoise og kan produceres som vintage (årgangsvin) eller non-vintage (ikkevintage).

Hvad bidrager hver drue med?

Chardonnay: Leverer tekstur, nøddeagtige aromaer og brioche-noter – finesse og elegance
Pinot Noir: Tilfører en mylder af aromaer og rødfrugtsnoter – struktur og dybde
Proportionerne af Chardonnay og Pinot Noir varierer efter producentens præferencer og årgangsbetingelser, men lige store mængder af de to druer er ikke ualmindeligt.

Stilspektrum

Vine lavet i denne stil kan være sprøde og friske i nogle eksemplarer, stålsatte og mineraldrevne i andre, eller have karakteristika af brød, toast og smør. De bedste vine har elementer fra alle disse kategorier og er rige, integrerede og kælderegnede.

Sødmen varierer betydeligt afhængigt af producentens ønskede stil:

Brut: Tørre vine
Sec: Halvtørre vine
Doux: Søde vine
Mousserende rosé

Mousserende rosé er en anden almindelig fortolkning af blendingen. Den fremstilles ved at tilsætte en lille mængde rød Pinot Noir-vin til cuvéen, eller lejlighedsvis ved at tillade en forlænget periode med skalkontakt før juicen presses. Som følge heraf har mousserende rosé mere rødfrugtkarakteristika end sin hvide pendant og en farve der spænder fra lys laksefarvet til brilliant rubin.
