Creamy yet driven, the 2011 Champagne Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs layers green apple, nectarine and citrus peel over notes of brioche, pastry cream and toasted almond, all carried by a finely etched, saline-inflected acidity. The palate feels both generous and tightly composed, showing a racy core and a long, precise finish that reflects the vintage’s surprising combination of charm and structure.

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.
