Golden and deeply expressive, Champagne Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1996 melds creamy baked-apple and honeyed citrus with layers of toasted nuts, brioche and a touch of developed, caramelised fruit. The hallmark 1996 acidity still cuts cleanly through the richness, giving this mature, complex Comtes both grandeur and remarkable tension on the finish.

Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs is Taittinger’s flagship prestige cuvée, a 100% Chardonnay, always-vintage champagne sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs (notably Avize, Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger). Crafted only in exceptional years from first-press juice, with a small portion aged in oak and then long-matured for about a decade in Taittinger’s historic chalk cellars in Reims, it is celebrated for its refined, mineral-driven elegance, finesse of mousse, and remarkable ageing potential.
