Having returned to family hands in 2006, this much-loved maison is enjoying a period of success. Their tête de cuvée is adored by connoisseurs for its hallmark finesse and detailed Blanc de Blancs style. Undoubtedly one of Champagne’s finest prestige cuvées, Blanc de Blancs or otherwise, it is rare for stock to remain on our list for long. The 2011 vintage is a worthy successor to the magnificent 2008 release, albeit from a strikingly different year. Marked by early ripening and a spring drought, the 2011 vintage benefited from the conditions at Champagne’s better sites. The fruit for the blend comes exclusively from the Côtes des Blancs villages of Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Oger, where Taittinger’s Comte got it right. An expressive and beautifully refined nose bursts from the glass with notes of chalk, a spritz of scratched lemon peel, fresh butter, smoky lees, and a hint of blood orange peel, all rendered with great detail and delicacy. The palate is defined by impressive freshness and energy, as well as exceptional purity. Clean and invigorating, there’s an element of grapefruit sorbet that’s most engaging, accompanied by notes of blanched almonds, crushed chalk, and just a touch of green olive and citrus pith on the finish. Taut, steely, and very refreshing, this is a vintage with remarkable clarity.
