Taittinger: The Most Elegant Of Champagnes
Bollinger is noted for its power and weight, and Pol Roger for its impeccable balance. Taittinger is a Champagne that is peerless in its sheer elegance.
This finesse and poise come from the high quality of the Chardonnay grapes to which the house has access and the high proportion of them in the blend. Taittinger is known for its high proportion of Chardonnay grapes, which give its wines a delicate and elegant style.
Comtes de Champagne: The Flagship Of The House
The luxury cuvee of Taittinger is the Comtes de Champagne. It is the epitome of the house style. A 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blanc based on a single Champagne vintage, it is one of the very finest wines of this illustrious region.
Comtes de Champagne is made from Chardonnay grown in the top grands crus vineyards of the Côte des Blancs. These include Avize, Chouilly, Cramant and Mesnil. The grapes are carefully selected and hand-picked, and only the first pressing is used. This ensures the highest quality and purity. The wine is then aged for at least 10 years in the 4th-century Roman cellars of the former Saint-Nicaise abbey in Reims, where it develops layered complexity to balance the dazzling acidity and purity of fruit.
Comtes de Champagne also has a reputation for great value, considering the quality in the bottle. As Galloni wrote in 2015 after tasting the 2006 vintage, “Comtes de Champagne remains the single best value (in relative terms) in tête de cuvée Champagne”. This makes it a true connoisseur’s choice.

Tasting Notes
Antonio Galloni 98
The 2008 Comtes de Champagne is every bit as stunning as it has always been. The first signs of aromatic complexity are starting to appear, while there is a bit less of the youthful austerity that was present at the outset. It will be interesting to see how the 2018 continues to develop. It is certainly not the austere, bracing Champagne it was a few years ago. Hints of apricot, slate, mint, crushed rocks and light tropical accents build into the salivating finish.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2048

Pale copper colour. Tiny bead. Lots of toasty autolysis on the nose and then masses of very crystalline acidity on the palate with a tiny bit of smoky reduction. Really energetic. Should be a great start to our JR.com Christmas dinner and, I hope, a good lead-in to La Grande Dame 1990. Dry finish and super-zesty. Lemon zest at that. Complete and gorgeous. Very long and clean. Beautiful balance.
Anticipated maturity: 2017-2030
