BUYING GUIDE
91
Comte de Lantage Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs (Champagne);
$43
Has
round, complete, aged Champagne aromas of warm biscuit, nutty-smoky
notes, and rich, spicy toast. Complex and delicious, it's
dry, with a smooth texture and a finish that is long and spicy.
A first-rate vintage bubbly.
92
Comte de Lantage Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne 1990
$35
Very
vibrant and promising. This intensely flavoured, dry style
of Champagne needs time to show its best stuff. Marked by
a vivid green-gold colour, extremely toasty-earthy aromas
and forceful butter and lemon flavours. Best from 2000 through
2005 — J.G.
92
Comte de Lantage Brut Champagne Cuvée de Réserve
NV $30
This
extroverted Champagne is rich in texture, flavourful and mature
in style. Intriguing toasty, nutty, almost honeyed flavours
give it depth, and the luscious mousse and firm acidity give
it length on the finish. Drink now through 2000.
