Merchant's description
Founded in 1734, Taittinger is one of the oldest and most famous champagne houses. The flagship Comtes de Champagne is a serious step above any other cuvée in the range. First produced in 1952 and only made in the best years, it is a true benchmark for a blanc de blancs. The 2012 vintage was disgorged in April 2022, after spending 9 years on the lees. It is a medium- to full-bodied champagne, offering up notes of orchard fruit, buttery pastry, hazelnuts and dried apricots.
