A perfect blanc de blancs Champagne was one of the incredibly exciting wines I rated last week in Hong Kong.

The Taittinger Champagne Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2008 is a weightless yet condensed Champagne with such weight and verve that it seduces you with every sip. It’s the best blanc de blanc I have had in a long time. I also tasted the Taittinger Champagne Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2011, which will be released in September, and it was a more linear and mineral young Champagne than the 2008 and it had outstanding drive.

Check out the tasting in the video, which I did with one of the owners of Champagne Taittinger, Vitalie Taittinger.
