Tasting
This vintage enjoyed a warm climate, favoring the ripening of the grapes.
The nose transports us into a world of ripeness and voluptuousness. This Taittinger Comtes de Champagne delivers delicate white-fleshed fruit aromas. A wine of great mineral power, dense and rich, with iodized Chardonnays.
The generous palate is built on a chalky backbone, giving it charm and precision. This suave wine transports us with aromas of candied fruit and sweet spices such as aniseed and coriander.

Terroirs
Marne Valley,
Montagne de Reims
Champagne Taittinger has the largest intramural vineyard in the city of Reims, planted with 37% Chardonnay, 48% Pinot Noir and 15% Meunier. It provides a small half of its own supply and is certified High Environmental Value.
Other vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Bar complete this quality vineyard.
Elaborated in the Gallo-Roman chalk pits of the former Saint-Nicaise Abbey in Reims, Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs benefits from a succession of careful treatments right up to its apogee.
About this house
The Taittinger family, at the helm of the House for almost a century, is constantly striving for excellence: "Having our family name on a bottle imposes a responsibility and a demand on us at every moment. This signature bears both the know-how of the past and a commitment to the future", as Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger likes to say.
A commitment he shares today with his son Clovis and daughter Vitalie.
L'Accord Parfait
Between Champagne and its dish
Input
Perfect for an exceptional celebration, this champagne goes perfectly with a starter based on seafood, fine shellfish or fish.
Dish

Chef's word
A finalist in the "meilleur ouvrier de France" competition, Amandine Chaignot also entered a prize that few women have attempted: the Prix Culinaire International de cuisine d'auteur Taittinger, which she finished in second place. She opened her own restaurant, Pouliche, in Paris.
Amandine Chaignot recommends Taittinger Champagne with a Galette des Rois Poulaille et Champignons.
