Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2012

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2012 is one of the house’s most celebrated cuvées: a Blanc de Blancs made exclusively from Chardonnay sourced from top Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs. Crafted only from the first press juice and matured for more than a decade in Taittinger’s chalk cellars beneath Reims, it combines precision, elegance, and remarkable depth. The 2012 vintage adds extra tension and concentration, making this a Champagne with both immediate appeal and serious aging potential.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, it shows a luminous pale gold color with a fine, persistent mousse. The bouquet is refined and layered, opening with citrus, white flowers, toasted nuts, and subtle brioche notes from extended lees aging. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced, with the freshness and minerality of Chardonnay matched by a creamy texture and generous mid-palate weight. Flavors of ripe pear, lemon zest, chalky minerality, and a hint of vanilla lead into a long, elegant finish. This is a Champagne with excellent structure and the potential to evolve gracefully over 10 to 20 years under optimal cellaring conditions.

Viininvalmistus
The grapes come from some of the finest Grand Cru sites in Champagne, including Avize, Cramant, Chouilly, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Oger, where chalk-rich soils give the wine its signature precision and minerality. Harvesting is done with a focus on quality, and only the best first-press juice is used. The wine then undergoes extended maturation in Taittinger’s historic chalk caves under Reims, where more than 10 years of aging develop complexity, finesse, and its finely integrated mousse.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This Champagne works beautifully as an aperitif and is equally at home alongside refined seafood dishes such as oysters, scallops, lobster, and delicate white fish. Serve chilled at 8-10°C to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is not recommended; instead, open shortly before serving and allow the wine to unfold gradually in the glass.
