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 2014 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs is a distinguished offering from the renowned Champagne producer, Taittinger. Crafted in the Champagne region of France, this white wine is composed entirely of Chardonnay grapes, reflecting the classic elegance and purity associated with Blanc de Blancs champagnes.

With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this wine offers a balanced profile that is both refreshing and sophisticated.
