Champagne Taittinger has released its Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2014, and critics are praising it as an outstanding expression of the vintage. This champagne, featuring a 12.5% alcohol content, is entirely sourced from Grand Cru villages including Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Oger.
Aged for a decade on the lees and with a dosage of 9 g/l that was disgorged in April 2024, it displays a focused and linear profile, characterized by refreshing acidity and bright lemony fruit. This vintage features a toastiness that frames its mineral notes, creating a vibrant palate with a complex expression of citrus, enhanced by hints of peach and apricot.
The wine exhibits finesse and tension, balanced by sweetness from the dosage. Its potential for aging will likely reveal deeper flavors, adding depth alongside its already pronounced bright notes. Overall, it combines seriousness with approachability, receiving a commendable rating of 96/100.
