Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 600cl 2008

HED33309 600cl 12.5%
Chardonnay is Taittinger’s hallmark, and the Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs is where the grape expresses its full potential. The 2008 vintage is a fresh, mineral and focused champagne, pleasantly scented with notes of white flowers, fresh citrus fruits, white peaches and yeasty dough. On the palate the wine has a delicate creamy mouth-feel and shows racy acidity, crystalline purity and steeliness. Flavours of lemon, lime and orchards, with sprinkles of white pepper lead to a long chalky finish.

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.
