Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The crystalline acidity of Grand Cru Chardonnay lends a remarkable tension and saline minerality.
Roundness
A silky, enveloping texture, shaped by ten years of maturation on lees.
Depth
Full-bodied and assertive, carried with elegance rather than opulence.
Length
An exceptionally persistent finish, saline and floral, with chalky undertones.

TASTING NOTES

Pale gold in colour with green highlights, fine and persistent mousse. On the nose, candied citrus, white blossom, damp chalk and a gentle brioche note from ten years on lees. On the palate, the texture is silky and enveloping, cut through with vivid acidity and a deep saline finish that is the hallmark of the Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs.

Terroirs

A blend of 100% Chardonnay sourced exclusively from the five Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs — Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant and Chouilly — aged ten years on lees in the 13th-century chalk cellars of the former Abbaye Saint-Nicaise in Reims.

Taittinger

About this house

Founded in Reims in 1734, Taittinger is one of the few great Champagne houses to remain independent and family-owned. Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger, at the helm since 2006, embodies a vision of Champagne built on elegance, purity and the supremacy of Chardonnay.

Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs has been the house's prestige cuvée since 1952: produced only in exceptional vintages, it represents the quintessential expression of the Champenois terroir as interpreted by Taittinger.

Citrus-cured gravlax with fresh herbs mirrors naturally the citrus character and saline tension of the Blanc de Blancs.

The sweet, briny flesh of lobster calls for the fullness and complexity of a great, age-worthy Blanc de Blancs.
