Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2012

Region: Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France

Grape: 100% Chardonnay

Rating: 96 Points - Wine Spectator

Tasting: A masterpiece of refinement offering crisp white fruit, lemon zest, and white flowers, followed by subtle hints of pastry and fresh almonds. The palate presents remarkable precision with notes of chalk, green apple, and acacia honey, finishing with extraordinary length and minerality.

Pairing: Perfect with fresh seafood plateaux, pan-seared scallops, or premium caviar.

Producer: Few houses embody Champagne's elegance quite like Taittinger. Founded in 1734, this family-owned house has perfected their flagship Comtes de Champagne over generations. The wine is crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grown in the finest Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs. After primary fermentation in stainless steel, 5% of the wines are aged in new oak barrels. The champagne then matures for 10 years in the historic 4th-century Roman chalk cellars beneath Saint-Nicaise in Reims.
