    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Taittinger, Taittinger, Blanc de Blancs, Comtes de Champagne, 1998

    The 1998 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs has aged gracefully, showing remarkable depth and complexity. The nose has developed into a layered bouquet of brioche, almonds, citrus zest, and subtle vanilla. The palate is balanced and vibrant, with flavours of baked apple, grapefruit, and minerality underscored by a refined acidity. This vintage retains its elegance and finesse, offering a creamy texture and crisp finish. Now in its prime, it will continue to evolve beautifully through to 2025 and beyond.

    ABV:

    The 1998 Comtes de Champagne is a different story altogether. This is a sexy, up-front Comtes endowed with lovely richness in its fruit and open, expressive aromatics. It remains an impressive, inviting Comtes that should also continue to develop nicely in the bottle for at least another decade plus.
