Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2004 Taittinger "Comtes de Champagne" Brut Blanc de Blancs (98JS, 97DC, 97VN, 95JG, 94WS). James Suckling: "After almost 10 years on the lees and 10 years after disgorgement, this is showing nervy minerality, flintiness and oyster-shell characteristics, alongside dried pineapple and lemon peel. It's electric and lively on the palate with so much brightness. Tight, seamless bubbles. Unbelievably fresh and long. Bottled in 2005 and disgorged in 2014. Drink or hold." (07/2024)

Comtes de Champagne 2004 is in an utterly magical spot now, poised between brown butter, coffee cake and the almost parmesan cheese and umami-like development that this classic blanc de blancs shows on cork. Plush yet zingy fruit ranges from lemon marmalade to mango and dried apple, all brightened with a touch of oyster-shell breeziness. It’s lithe, silky-smooth and layered, perfectly pitched for current drinking. Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs grands crus. (TH)
