Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 1999
On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of tropical fruits, pastry, and floral notes. The palate is fresh, full, and round, with high acidity and a medium body, showcasing flavours of honey, vanilla, bread, creamy butter, and dried fruits. The finish is long, vibrant, and smooth, reflecting the wine`s maturity and elegance.
This vintage has been praised for its balance and potential for further ageing, with Wine Enthusiast awarding it 96 points, highlighting its intense Chardonnay character and pure mineral, green, and citrus fruit profile. Wine Advocate`s Antonio Galloni also commended its inviting personality and polished finish, suggesting it will continue to evolve over the coming years.
Taittinger
The Taittinger family have been running their eponymous Champagne house since 1932. One of the last family-owned houses in Reims, the brand has a reputation for quality-driven vintage and non-vintage Champagnes. Sourcing fruit from over 35 vineyards sites, the team produce a range of styles including an elegant non-vintage, two sweeter Champagnes in the form of Nocturne and Demi-Sec and a Grand Cru-based non-vintage.
The Taittinger family's Prestige Cuvée is Comtes de Champagne, first produced in 1952. This Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) is produced using fruit from five different Grand Cru sites across the Côte de Blancs. An aromatic, full-bodied Champagne with notes of citrus oil and green apple in youth, Comtes de Champagne ages superbly, with time in the bottle revealing notes of toasted hazelnut and a creamy richness.
