Vintage 2007

An unusually warm spring led to early flowering and initial optimism, which soon gave way to disappointment following one of the murkiest summers on record. Overall, 2007 was a difficult vintage saved by last-minute sunshine in late-August. Mildew and rot were the main culprits of the harvest, and the level of gluconic acid rocketed. The harvest began early, on August 24th, and was abundant in volume averaging 14,242 kg/ha. Pinot Meunier posed the biggest problems and Chardonnay clearly outperformed the rest. Many of the iconic prestige cuvée blanc de blancs were successfully produced, such as Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Ruinart Dom Ruinart, Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Louis and Salon Le Mesnil. Some blended prestige cuvées such as Louis Roederer Cristal and Philipponnat Clos des Goisses were also made. Champagnes from 2007 are typically high in acidity and restrainedly classic in style, but lack the spine and strength of the greatest harvest years. Even if the vintage only receives three stars, its best Chardonnays are well worth seeking and storing.

Written Notes

Comtes de Champagne 2007 Open nose with a oxidized, yellow apple note that doesn’t reminisce of Comtes de Champagne at all. Toasty, sure and spice notes as well but there's a weird marzipan note and lack of minerality. Hopefully just need more time on lees. Completely disjointed palate with evident dosage, bitter finish, hard acidity and very one dimensional aromatics. As this is a pre release tasting I can only assume that more time on the lees will help this wine become more charming. Lets see in a few years when it’s released. 85p.

Specialtappning direkt från Taittingers källare i Reims. Buteljerad i dec’11. Faten dominerar fortfarande, ingen Comtes-karaktär har infunnit sig ännu. Men oj vad spännande den parfymerade tonen är.
