About Comtes de Champagne
The delicate and bracing beauty of Comtes de Champagne is never more apparent than in its 2008 incarnation. It has produced a ‘sweet spot’ for Taittinger’s prestige offering where a legendary House finds its match in a legendary vintage. Energy, purity and tension defines its reductive slant. The nose is pronounced with sweet floral overtones, menthol, grass and orchard fruits. And the palate, delicate and finely chiselled, with chalk. There is a generosity to this champagne yet to come in other 2008s, which makes it so very approachable, even now. A magnificent champagne of tremendous grace and better things yet to come.
