CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2014 Comtes de Champagne is pristine. In this tasting, it comes across as a mini-2008, similar in its linear personality, with just a touch more mid-palate creaminess. Readers will find a Comtes that plays in the realm of tension and energy. Citrus confit, white flowers, chalk, mint and chamomile are all finely sketched. Light tropical overtones grace the finish. What an absolute delight. The 2014 can be enjoyed now or cellared. Dosage is 9 grams per liter.

Full bottle 1,720 g. A blend of Chardonnay from the Grand Cru villages of Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. From a year when a warm, dry September saved a ripe crop from a cooler, wetter August. Lusciously creamy nose. Tiny, dense bead and still quite a bit of tension and marked acidity on the palate. There's no hurry at allt to drink this! Strong lemon notes on the end. Very densely wound. You could drink it now but I think it will be even more rewarding next year. Impressive length on the palate.
