I imagine that the Comtes de Champagne is the champagne most appreciated by the broadest public. It contains no difficult aromas, but instead an abundance of charmingly sweet and soft tastes in an elegant and luxurious style. In any case, it contains an aromatic spectrum that is exciting enough for even the most fastidious expert to fall head over heels for its beauty.

Tasting Note
‘A wine that was made all too few bottles of. The champagne is going from strength to strength and swims in the mouth with the power of a tsunami and caressing you at the same time in a powerful combination. Sweet citrus, vanilla and Meursault notes together in a beautiful harmony. Crazy mute as recently discorged. Improves in the glass and is packed with fruit for the future. Only three months later you could already see the greatness and feel the concentration. This vintage one has only made 35,000 bottles, which is 100,000 bottles less than normal so it will be a battle for the dense lime-scented muscle knot when it wakes up from its sleepless sleep.’
