The nose opens with ripe pear, crisp apple, citrus zest, toasted brioche, and a subtle nutty edge, reflecting both Chardonnay precision and extended ageing on lees.\n\nThe palate is full-bodied yet beautifully structured, balancing fresh citrus, chalky minerality, and a gentle smoky nuance with a creamy, refined texture. Its long, harmonious finish suggests excellent ageing potential, with the wine capable of developing further complexity over time and drinking well through 2035 under ideal cellar conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComtes de Champagne is sourced from Grand Cru parcels in the Côte des Blancs, a terroir celebrated for its chalk-rich soils that bring tension, minerality, and precision to Chardonnay. Only the first pressing is used to preserve purity and finesse, and the wine spends more than eight years ageing in Taittinger’s limestone cellars beneath Reims, where slow maturation builds texture and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe this Champagne at 8–10°C to highlight its freshness and layered character.
