CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2011 Comtes de Champagne remains a challenging wine. Short, compact and lacking in complexity, the 2011 just doesn t have that much to offer. On a more positive note, there s good freshness and fewer of the vegetal notes I saw a few years ago. This is the best showing yet for the 2011.

100% Chardonnay from Cote des Blancs. Only produced in exceptional years. 5% of the wines used have been aged for 4 months in new oak barrels (a third of which are renewed every year). The Champagne is aged for 8 to 10 years. Winemaker: Alexandre Ponnavoy. TA 6 g/l, pH 3, RS 9 g/l. Bottle weight 950 g. So restrained and alluring. Struck-match character on the nose. Like a fine burgundy with a delicate but persistent mousse. Plenty of acidity on the palate to balance the ripe, almost tropical/exotic-fruit notes. No shortage of purity with exuberant freshness to finish. Flavours build in the glass - biscuity, very precise. (AWH)
