Description
Taittinger's Comte de Champagne 2006 is a champagne of exceptional finesse and aromatic complexity.
The 2006 vintage was marked by a warm climate that produced grapes of excellent ripeness. The Chardonnays in particular developed notes of white fruit and citrus.
Comte de Champagne is a Blanc de Blancs cuvée, made from Chardonnays from the great terroirs of the Côte des Blancs.
A very small proportion of the wines (5%) are aged in oak barrels for 4 months to add a touch of complexity.
Taittinger's Comte de Champagne 2006 is pale gold in color, with fine, light bubbles.
On the nose, this champagne offers fruity citrus notes. On the second nose, candied fruit and pastry aromas appear.
On the palate, the attack is both lively and unctuous. It's a rich, greedy, expressive champagne, with a long, vibrant finish of spicy notes.

Tasting
By Patrick BorrasRobe
Taittinger's Cuvée Comte de Champagne is a wonderful representation of this fine house and the very best of Champagne. It is dressed in a glittering golden robe.
Nose
Comte de Champagne 2006 has a nose that combines finesse and depth. A nose that evokes white flowers and evolves towards spicier, deeper, more gourmand notes.
Palate
The 2006 vintage brings a lovely freshness, highlighting the creaminess of the chardonnay, punctuated by a freshness and a beautiful minerality.
Service
This is a complex champagne that can be enjoyed both as an aperitif and throughout a meal. I usually serve it at a temperature of 11°C.
