\"taittinger<\/p>\n

Tried these three yesterday. They are all really good, and all quite different. The Comtes was the star; the Dom P accessible yet serious; the Krug still tight and youthful, but with latent richness and depth. We drank them, too.<\/p>\n

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2006 France<\/strong>
\n12.5% alcohol. Tight, fresh, complex and detailed with subtle toast, white peach, white pepper, yellow plum and lemon notes. Bright and pure with precision and good acidity. Has beautiful detail and brightness, with a core of lemony fruit. There\u2019s a bit of toast and honeycomb here, also. A remarkably good wine. 96\/100<\/p>\n

\"champagne<\/p>\n

Champagne Krug Grande Cuv\u00e9e NV France<\/strong>
\n12% alcohol. Disgorged summer 2014, oldest wine 1990, base wine 2007, seven years on lees, 12 different vintages. Complex and intense; lemony, appley and herby. Lots of flavour here with bracing freshness and notes of toast, citrus pith, grapefruit and herbs. There\u2019s a sweet toffee and toast note adding richness, but the core of this wine is linear, intense, citrussy fruit. Still quite primary, this will blossom into all out toasty richness with a bit of time in bottle. Very tight now, and tighter than I\u2019d expect from Krug. 94\/100<\/p>\n

\"dom<\/p>\n

Champagne Dom P\u00e9rignon 2006 France<\/strong>
\n12.5% alcohol. Fine, expressive and fruity. Lovely weight here: pear, white peach, a hint of melon. Generous fruitiness and attractive, smooth texture define this wine. A bit of sweetness, too. There\u2019s an elegance and purity here, and it\u2019s a wine that has some seriousness but also it\u2019s so approachable and friendly. Such a good wine. 95\/100<\/p>\n
