2014 | Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Brut | Champagne Sori San Lorenzo and a hint of whiteApricots, hazelnuts, lemons, white flowers, sliced almonds and hints of licorice on the nose. It's creamy and layered, with soft, rounded bubbles that spread across the palate. Lovely balance of breadth, ripeness and freshness, with delicious wildflower honey and nut notes lingering. 100% grand cru chardonnay from Avize, Mesnil sur Oger, Oger, Cramant and Chouilly. Drink or hold. James Suckling
