"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 finish add an exotic flair. Usually I recommend cellaring just-released Comtes, but that won’t be necessary here." Antonio Galloni - Vinous
The sense of smell accompanies us into a world of maturity and voluptuousness. It gives off notes of candied citrus fruits, Williams pears and apricots. This Comtes de Champagne offers us pastry and toasted aromas such as lemon meringue, nougat, almond.
A wine of great mineral strength, dense and rich, with Chardonnays showing an iodized character.
This generous palate is built on a chalky structure which gives it an intensity of flavors and luminous substances, enhanced by delicate and decisive acidities. This wine that seduces with its aromatic density leads us to reassuring flavors of ripe citrus fruits combined with a saline and profound addition. Of a great natural intensity, this Comtes de Champagne 2012 extends its dynamism with an incredible wave and purity of fruit. It will evolve with energy and delicacy.
Witness of time, the great intensity of the Comtes de Champagne 2012 portends all the longevity potential one would expect from such a cuvée. Supported by a beautiful structure, this energetic wine, born in the light of white soils, finds a rare intensity in this year of great maturation.
