Tasting Notes
Vinous 91
The 1989 Comtes de Champagne is darker in color than the 1988 and also quite a bit more forward. Candied orange peel, spices and caramel suggest it is on a fairly quick path. Today the 1989 is most impressive for its generous texture and complete, developed personality. This won’t make old bones, but it is delicious today.
Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020

A charmer with nice, intact acidity. Incredibly beautiful pearl-necklace mousse. Classically creamy and rich, with a distinct note of oak. Long, sweet aftertaste of butter toffee. Fully mature now. Drink up!
