280,00 €
Few in stock
Comtes de Champagne 2011 is a Blanc de Blancs Champagne from Taittinger, made from 100% Chardonnay. The wine is produced only in selected vintages and is regarded as one of the house’s most important cuvées.
The grapes come from Taittinger’s own vineyards in five Grand Cru communes: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. The area is located in the Côte des Blancs and is particularly known for Chardonnay with freshness, minerality and precision.
A small portion of the must, approx. 5%, is aged in French oak barrels. The Champagne is also aged for at least 10 years in Taittinger’s chalk cellars before release.
Tasting profile
Comtes de Champagne 2011 has an elegant and mature profile with Chardonnay-driven freshness, fine citrus notes, a lightly toasted character and a soft, rounded structure.
The oak-aged portion contributes lightly toasted notes, while the long ageing adds complexity, a calm mousse and a longer finish.
