"The 2012 Comtes de Champagne is gorgeous. Warm and resonant in the glass, the 2012 Comtes shows all the allure that makes this vintage so appealing. The combination of bright citrus, mineral and floral notes typical of Comtes, enhanced by the soft contours of the vintage, makes for an inviting, open-knit Champagne that is quite showy right out of the gate. Light tropical accents on the...

"The 2011 Rosé Comtes de Champagne is one of the very finest recent editions I can recall. The intensity of both the Pinot and the vintage comes through loud and clear in a vinous, resonant Comtes Rosé that is engaging right out of the gate. Dark red berry fruit, spice, crushed flowers and blood orange are some of the many notes that meld together seamlessly. The 2011 is a truly special...

The body is brilliant, golden straw yellow in colour. The bubbles are fine. The mousse is discreet and persistent. The nose is very expressive and open, offering notes of fruit and brioche, as well as aromas of peach, white flowers (hawthorn, acacia) and vanilla pod. The attack in the mouth is lively and fresh, very harmonious. Fruit and honey flavours then follow, in a delicate expression....

The nose of this 2015 vintage is at once precise, pure and fruity. It shows an incredible finesse aromatics and a beautiful minerality. This lively freshness translates into a bouquet of white flowers (orange blossom, lime, honeysuckle) punctuated by fresh fruit aromas (lime, white peach) delicately accompanied by fine notes of lightly toasted almonds. On the palate, the attack is...

The body is bright, pale yellow with silver highlights, a sign of a high proportion of great Chardonnays. The bubbles are fine and form a delicately creamy and persistent rim of mousse. The nose is fine and fresh. The first mineral aromas quickly become vegetal and then floral, with scents of elderflower mixed with spicy touches of cinnamon. The attack in the mouth is lively and frank,...

The intense, very fruity nose develops aromas of peach and apricot compote enhanced by subtle notes of grilled brioche and vanilla. The attack on the palate is broad, soft and fruity, with dominant flavours of yellow peach. The finish is pronounced and expressive, subtly accentuated by...
