Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 1990

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 1990 is one of the house’s most celebrated prestige cuvées, showcasing the elegance and precision that have made Blanc de Blancs Champagne so admired. Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay sourced from top Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, this vintage has evolved into a benchmark for maturity, finesse, and depth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a refined golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse, a visual cue to its long aging and enduring vitality. The bouquet is layered and complex, with notes of honey, brioche, citrus peel, baked pastry, and a delicate toasted edge, opening gradually to more nuanced hints of ripe orchard fruit and chalky minerality. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced, with creamy texture, vivid acidity, and a long, seamless finish that carries flavors of citrus, almond, and gentle oxidative complexity. While already impressive now, it continues to have excellent aging potential in the cellar, where its savory depth and tertiary character can develop even further.

Production
Comtes de Champagne is sourced exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, where chalk-rich soils bring tension, purity, and mineral drive to the wine. The grapes are harvested by hand, and the wine is vinified with the house’s focus on elegance and precision before being aged extensively on the lees, allowing the vintage to gain its signature creaminess, complexity, and textural finesse.

Food & Serving
This is a Champagne best served with refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, white truffle pasta, roast poultry, or delicate seafood preparations, as well as aged hard cheeses. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and while decanting is not usually necessary, allowing it a few minutes in the glass can help the aromatics open beautifully.
