The Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs, Champagne Taittinger’s most rare and precious cuvee, was created as a tribute to the Counts (or “Comtes”) of Champagne who ruled over the Saint-Nicaise Abbey and to Thibauld IV in particular. The blend is derived solely from Chardonnay grapes from the highest ranked crus of the Cote des Blancs, the most prestigious source of Chardonnay in Champagne.

Produced only when the harvest is exceptional quality worthy of a vintage year, and only from the first press, Comtes de Champagne is a study in finesse. Since its first cuvee in 1952, just 30 vintages have been deemed worthy of bottling.

The 2007 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs is a refined offering from the esteemed Taittinger house, hailing from France's Champagne region. This vintage, composed entirely of Chardonnay from grand cru sites in the Côte des Blancs, showcases the elegance and precision that are hallmarks of this producer.

James Suckling awarded this wine an impressive 98 points, describing it as "a step up from the linear and fresh 2006." He highlights its "dense block of vivid fruit," with flavors including "lemon zest, green apples, and hints of white peaches," complemented by "just the right amount of praline and nuts on the nose." Suckling also praises the fine, tight bead that gives the wine a "luxurious mouth feel."

Vinous also gave this champagne high marks with a score of 96. They noted its "soaring aromatics, mid-weight structure, and soft contours," making it "nearly impossible to resist upon release." The wine's bouquet features "lemon oil, white flowers, mint, chamomile, and green pear," adding to its bright and fresh profile. Vinous appreciates its "persistent, clean finish" and notes that it will drink well earlier than other vintages.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave the 2007 Comtes de Champagne a 95-point score. William Kelley praised its "pretty bouquet of lemon oil, lily pollen, dried white flowers, blanched almonds, and crushed chalk." He noted its "medium to full-bodied, chiseled and tensile" character, with "racy acids and a pure, precise, and notably chalky finish."

Wine Enthusiast rated this wine at 97 points, calling it "magnificent" despite 2007 being "generally regarded as good but not great." They point out its development over time, featuring "toast while also keeping the tight, mineral edge of a great wine from the Côte des Blancs."

Wine Spectator and Wine & Spirits also provided favorable reviews, scoring the wine at 93 and 94 points, respectively. Wine Spectator highlighted its "elegant and toasty" nature with a "firm backbone of acidity," while Wine & Spirits emphasized its "vibrant freshness" and development of "mature tones of bottle age."

Overall, the 2007 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs is a highly regarded vintage, praised across the board for its complexity, balance, and potential for aging.
