Champagne Blanc de Blancs 'Comtes de Champagne' 2012 Magnum Taittinger
The 2012 Taittinger Brut Blanc de Blancs 'Comtes de Champagne' is an excellent expression of prestige and refinement. Sourced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, this vintage brut Champagne is aged on lees in the bottle for a period of 60 months, giving it a full-bodied structure and extraordinary aromatic richness.
The grapes used come from the most renowned crus of the Côte des Blancs, a shining symbol of the best expression of Chardonnay and the unique terroir of that region. Gentle pressing ensures only the use of free-run juice, while a small percentage of base wines are aged in new oak barrels for 4 months, adding richness and complexity to the final blend.
This Blanc de Blancs represents the pinnacle of grape nobility and quality, being produced only in the finest vintages. Its production still takes place today in the historic cellars of the Abbey of Saint-Nicaise in Reims, a testament to attention to tradition and excellence.
The "Comtes de Champagne" presents itself in the glass with a bright clear yellow straw color and a very fine persistent perlage. The bouquet is complex and intriguing, with fresh citrus notes opening up to aromas of ripe fruit, pastry, dried fruit, and raisins. The palate is lively and harmonious, with rich and persistent fruit leading to a slightly spicy finish, with a subtle hint of licorice root.
It's a Champagne of great significance, perfect for accompanying special moments at the table. It pairs beautifully with shellfish, seafood, and fish dishes, highlighting its versatility and ability to enhance the most refined flavors.
