Tasting Notes

Vinous 98

Taittinger’s 2002 Comtes de Champagne (magnum) is one of the greatest Champagnes ever made. In magnum, it is especially explosive and heady, not to mention superb alongside Daniel Humm’s hors d’oeuvres, where the brilliance of the wine plays off the flavors and textures of the food brilliantly. What a great way to start this dinner. [Antonio Galloni, 07/01/2013]

Robert Parker 98

The 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is beginning to drink very well, wafting from the glass with a brilliant bouquet that mingles aromas of pear, citrus confit and dried fruits with notions of marzipan, brioche, oyster shell and smoke. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and textural, with a layered and multidimensional core, considerable concentration and a long, penetrating finish. Racy and precise though the wine is, this is a somewhat broader, richer rendition of Comtes than the compelling 2008 that preceded it in this tasting, but it’s hard to choose between the two in terms of quality. [William Kelley, 01/08/2019]

Richard Juhlin 96

A wine that was made all too few bottles of. The champagne is going from strength to strength and swims in the mouth with the power of a tsunami and caressing you at the same time in a powerful combination. Sweet citrus, vanilla and Meursault notes together in a beautiful harmony. Crazy mute as recently discorged. Improves in the glass and is packed with fruit for the future. Only three months later you could already see the greatness and feel the concentration. This vintage one has only made 35,000 bottles, which is 100,000 bottles less than normal so it will be a battle for the dense lime-scented muscle knot when it wakes up from its sleepless sleep. [Richard Juhlin, 01/08/2022]

JancisRobinson.com 18.5

Pale greenish straw. Quite a different colour from the vintage 2002 – paler. Lacy reductive nose. Distinctly smoky. Very readable and perfect, fine Chardonnay – richer and more powerful than the 2004. [28/08/2017]

Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030
