Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2012 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru – iconic prestige from Côte des Blancs

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2012 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is the legendary flagship of the house and one of the most coveted prestige champagnes in the world. Made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards in Avize, Chouilly and Cramant, this cuvée represents the ultimate expression of the Côte des Blancs.

Comtes de Champagne is only produced in exceptional vintages – and 2012 is just such a vintage. The combination of ripe fruit, precise acidity and chalky minerality produces a Champagne with both intensity and elegance. This is top class Blanc de Blancs – made for aging and great moments.

The long bottle ageing and uncompromising selection of grapes from 100% Grand Cru vineyards produces a wine with impressive depth, finesse and complexity. A Champagne for gastronomy at the highest level – perfect with lobster, oysters, caviar or refined fish dishes.
