Today, October 28th is Champagne Day so Jitka Auermullerova, one of our team of Wine Specialists tastes and Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 2011 Champagne.

Taittinger is one of Champagne's most famous houses. Based in the city of Reims, Taittinger is known for its Chardonnay-dominant cuvées, the pinnacle of which is the blanc de blancs prestige cuvée, Comtes de Champagne.

Comtes de Champagne was first made in the 1952 vintage. The grapes are mostly sourced from grand cru vineyards across Avizé, Chouilly and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Oak is used sparingly to impart flavors of brioche and grilled almonds, rather than to add tannin or weight. The bottles are kept for at least 10 years in the underground chalk galleries beneath the former Saint-Nicaise Abbey in Reims (now Taittinger’s headquarters). Taittinger's flagship is considered one of the most consistent blanc de blancs (Chardonnay-only) Champagnes.
