1996 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne96pt.Drink 2016-2036The 1996 Comtes de Champagne is awesome, but it, too, is all about potential, and there is no shortage of it here.

2002 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne98pt.Drink2012-2042Taittinger’s 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is off the charts. I have tasted the 2002 now many times, and it has never been less than thrilling. A vivid kaleidoscope of pure Chardonnay aromas and flavors opens up in the glass. The 2002 is at once incredibly rich yet also totally weightless and impeccable in its balance. All the classic Comtes notes are there, but with a level of detail and nuance I don’t think I have ever seen ...

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1990 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne96pt.Drink2010-2025The 1990 Comtes de Champagne captures a stylistic middle ground between the 1988 and 1993. Slightly advancing tones of orange peel and roasted nuts are beautifully contrasted by a streak of minerality that gives the wine its freshness and verve. Bright floral and mineral notes reappear on the finish, adding focus. Rich in its texture yet effortless, the 1990 offers exceptional balance and tons of...

1981 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne94pt.Drink2010-2020The 1981 is a fairly pointed, focused Comtes de Champagne. There is tons of clarity and freshness to be found in the glass, with only the faintest hints of oxidation coming through from time to time. This slender, understated Comtes is all class and balance. Well-stored bottles should drink well for another decade. 2010-2020.In the Cellar Sep 2010

Taittinger Comte de Champagne Blanc de Blancs1998 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne95pt.Drink2010-2025The 1998 Comtes de Champagne is a different story altogether. This is a sexy, up-front Comtes endowed with lovely richness in its fruit and open, expressive aromatics. It remains an impressive, inviting Comtes that should also continue to develop nicely in the bottle for at least another decade plus. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.In the Cellar Sep 2010

生産者テタンジェTaittingerヴィンテージ2004ワイン名コント・ド・シャンパーニュComtes de Champagne容量750ml解説パーカーポイント：96点予想される飲み頃：2014-2034It’s fascinating to taste the 2004 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne after the 2002, something I have been able to do on a few occasions. The 2004 is all about minerality, precision and tension. It doesn’t have the sheer richness or power of the 2002, but it makes up for that with its crystalline purity and sheer energy. Bright hints of lemon oil, white flowers and crushed rocks are laye...

Full-bodied, lovely, pure and quite complex on the palate, this is a fresh, buoyant and firmly structured Comtesse with a persiste...

Understated at first, and also, surprisingly accessible, the 1999 Comtes de Champagne backs up its open, inviting personality with considerable muscle married to vibrant, pure fruit. The long, polished finish bursts with Chardonnay character. As is often the case, Comtes is at its best when it has been opened for at least 1-2 hours...

1975 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne93pt.Drink2010-2010The 1975 Comtes de Champagne offers up truffles, mushrooms and autumn leaves in a mid-weight, fairly open style of Comtes. The wine turns more delicate in the glass; in fact it is quite a bit better composed on the palate than on the nose. Still, the mousse isn't quite as refined as the best vintages. Today the 1975 comes across as fully mature. Anticipated maturity: 2010. In the Cellar Sep 2010
