Une superbe cuvée de Taittinger !
L'oeil La robe est jaune à léger reflet doré. Les bulles sont fines et nombreuses. Le nez est puissant, invitant sur la poire, la pêche, les arômes de noisette sont très discrètes.
Bouche : La bouche est franche, droite, puissante mais à la fois en finesse. Ce n'est pas un style qui frappe par une acidité trop marquée ou encore de manière plus virile à la Bollinger. La finale est longue et rassasiante.
Conclusion : Toute une bouteille encore une fois ! Nettement plus fin que les 2000 dégustés dans la dernière année.

Taittinger’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 before. The 2002 is breathtakingly beautiful today, but also appears to have the stuffing to age for decades. Personally, I would be looking to buy the 2002 in magnums if at all possible. Sadly, there is little wine to go around as 2002 was a very short crop. Readers who can track down the 2002 are in store for something truly great. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2042.
This is a fabulous set of new releases from Taittinger. The 2002 Comtes de Champagne is easily one of the very best young Champagnes I have ever tasted. Over the next year or so, Taittinger plans to list more information about their NV wines on the back labels, something that is a huge positive for the consumer.
