Comtes de Champagne 2005  | Magnum 150cl - Presentation pack

Description

Cuvée Comtes de Champagne is one of the world's finest wines, made only in extraordinary years.

Taittinger's prestige cuvée is made in the cellars of the former Saint-Nicaise Abbey in Reims, which dates back to the 13th century.

Cuvée Comtes de Champagne is a blanc de blancs made from Chardonnays Grands Crus from the Côte des Blancs.

Only wines from the first press, the Cuvée, an absolute guarantee of finesse, are used. A very small proportion of the wine (5%) is aged for 4 months in new oak barrels.

Cuvée Comtes de Champagne 2005 is a pale gold color studded with light, fine bubbles.

The nose is intense, with gourmand and pastry notes.

On the palate, the attack is straightforward, with good tension, structure and a touch of fruity wood. The mid-palate is greedy and suave, with ripe fruit flavors such as pink grapefruit.

The finish is long, rich and complex, always accompanied by a lovely freshness.

Comtes de Champagne 2005 Taittinger is a very expressive, generous and ample cuvée.
