• When to drink this wine : 2021 - 2048
• Tasting by James Suckling in 2021: "The perfect blanc de blancs. Full-bodied, with a beautiful structure of acidity and dried fruit, such as apples, pears and peaches. Opulent. Dense and muscular. But balanced and harmonious. Line of acidity on the finish. Right on target. Superb. Deep and complete. It has everything you need. A wine for the cellar. He's the greatest Count of all time. It's got everything. A perfect improvement on two years ago. To drink or to keep."

To fully enjoy all the subtleties of Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blancs de Blancs, here are a few tasting tips:

• Serving temperature: We recommend serving this champagne at between 8 and 10 degrees Celsius to preserve all its freshness and liveliness.
• Glass: Use a tulip-shaped champagne glass to concentrate the aromas and better appreciate the fine bubbles.
• Disgorging: This champagne is often sold after several years' ageing on its lees. The aging time specified on the bottle, usually around 10 years, can affect the wine's aromatic profile. Be sure to take this into account when tasting.
• Decanting: Although Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blancs de Blancs can be enjoyed straight from the bottle, some people prefer to decant it slightly to allow the aromas to develop further.
• Wine and food pairing: This champagne goes well with delicate dishes such as seafood, shellfish, fine fish or poultry. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif to take full advantage of its aromatic complexity.
