Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2012 Methuselah Tasting Notes

Elevate any celebration with the Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 2012 Methuselah, a prestigious cuvée crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the finest Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs. This exceptional vintage Champagne unveils a radiant straw yellow hue, glistening with golden reflections and animated by a fine, persistent mousse that is both delicate and creamy.

On the nose, this luxury large-format Champagne is mature, voluptuous and bright, offering an enticing bouquet of gingerbread, liquorice, and freshly baked meringue. Layers of delicate white fruits, zesty mandarin peel and a refined touch of almond pastry create a complex aromatic profile. Underpinning the elegance is a profound mineral structure, where the purity of Chardonnay expresses an unmistakable iodine-laced salinity and depth.

A beautiful golden shimmer through colours of straw yellow and reflections of gold and a fine, delicate mousse that is creamy and captivating. The nose is mature, voluptuous, and fresh yet bright. It exhales delicious notes of gingerbread, liquorice and meringue with delicate white fruit, mandarin peel and a subtle touch of almond pastry. There is also great mineral power: dense and rich with the Chardonnay flexing its iodine character.
