Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay, it reflects both the finesse of the Côte des Blancs and the long-standing prestige of Taittinger’s flagship wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePale gold in the glass with a fine, precise mousse, this vintage opens with inviting aromas of orchard fruit, stone fruit, mandarin, and delicate pastry cream, lifted by nuances of blanched almonds. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, supple and creamy, with a fleshy texture balanced by vibrant acidity and a clean, elegant finish. With further bottle aging, it is expected to gain more toasty, roasted complexity while maintaining its crystalline structure and charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComtes de Champagne is Taittinger’s top Blanc de Blancs, sourced from exceptional Chardonnay vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, where chalk-rich soils lend tension, purity, and length. The 2011 vintage was harvested in a style that favored immediate expression over austerity, and the wine was vinified to preserve fruit clarity, finesse, and the signature precision of the house style before extended aging on the lees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn excellent match for lobster, scallops, fine sushi, roast poultry, or dishes with cream and almond accents.
