Champagne Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne 2012

The Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs is the finest example of the Taittinger Maison style and is always a vintage cuvée. It is made with 100% Chardonnay grapes from the 5 villages with a Grands Crus classification: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger.

This cuvée is created using juice from the first press only. A small percentage (5 %) of the blend is aged in fresh oak barrels to create the very delicate balance of toasted notes in the final wine. Taittinger knows it must be patient with these great Chardonnays, which are the crowning glory of its terroir; the Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs remains for up to 10 years in the chalk quarries beneath Saint-Nicaise, before emerging to ignite and delight the palates of champagne-lovers.
