Fresh-cut citrus and white flowers glide into layers of apricot, lemon curd, toasted nuts and brioche in Champagne Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2014, a finely etched, chalky grand cru Chardonnay that somehow feels both racy and luxuriously creamy at once. The energy is taut and linear, yet the mousse is soft and caressing, carrying a long, saline finish that hints at honey and subtle spice. This vintage has a focused, almost 2008-like drive that promises a long, graceful evolution in bottle.

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.
