The 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is showing beautifully out of the gates, offering up demonstrative aromas of sweet golden orchard fruit, buttery croissants, peach and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and enveloping, it's a rich, textural, vinous Comtes somewhat reminiscent of the brilliant 2002. If it gains in tension and cut (as the 2002 did and as I suspect the 2012 will) with more time on cork, it will make this initial rating seem conservative.
The 2011 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne has generated a certain amount of controversy in critical circles, with appraisals ranging from the condemnatory to the ecstatic, so I was curious to revisit a bottle with some more time on cork. Since I tasted it last year, the wine has tightened up a little, integrating its dosage and showing more of a structural backbone. Exhibiting aromas of crisp stone fruit, buttery pastry, freshly baked bread and hints of fresh hazelnut, it's medium-bodied, pillowy and racy, with an impressively seamless palate and delicate but penetrating finish. It isn't a powerhouse, but I continue to think that it's a genuine success in a challenging year.
Based on first pressing Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, the 2006 Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs opens with a precise, fresh and concentrated bouquet of ripe fruits on the nose. On the palate this is a less rich and opulent 2006, but its complexity, intensity and tension in combination with the linear freshness, purity and serious expression in the long and mineral finish, make this a top wine of the vintage.
The 2007 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne continues to show very well, and it hasn't evolved appreciably since I last tasted it a few months ago. Revealing a pretty bouquet of lemon oil, lily pollen, dried white flowers, blanched almonds and crushed chalk, it's medium to full-bodied, chiseled and tensile, with excellent depth at the core, racy acids and a pure, precise and notably chalky finish. Tight-knit without being austere, it's a very classically balanced middleweight Comtes that has a long future ahead of it.

Taittinger è uno dei marchi di Champagne più famosi al mondo e una delle più grandi aziende vinicole della regione dello Champagne. Fondata nel 1932 da Pierre Taittinger, la tenuta si trova a Riems con vigneti che coprono circa 290 ettari distribuiti nella denominazione Champagne.

Pierre Taittinger, ufficiale e politico di spicco nel 1915, non prevedeva una vita da viticoltore, ma dopo essere stato assegnato al capo di stato maggiore con sede a Château de la Marquetterie, Pierre Taittinger si innamorò. Decise di acquistare la proprietà e i suoi dintorni dalla casa vinicola Forest-Fourneaux e di avviare un'eredità familiare.

François Taittinger, figlio di Pierre, rilevò l'azienda di famiglia nel 1945 e forgiò lo stile caratteristico della casa. Fu lui a fare dello Chardonnay la sua uva di punta, perché era convinto del potenziale che questa varietà avrebbe avuto tra i consumatori del XX secolo. Dopo la sua prematura scomparsa, avvenuta nel 1960, il figlio Claude iniziò a gestire l'azienda fino al 2005, quando fu venduta a una società di investimento privata. La nuova proprietà non sembrava compatibile con gli standard di qualità di Taittinger ed è per questo motivo che la famiglia Taittinger decise di riacquistare la proprietà nel 2006.

L'obiettivo di Taittinger è sempre stato la ricerca dell'eccellenza, come afferma Pierre Emmanuel Taittinger, attuale presidente onorario:

"Avere il nome della nostra famiglia su una bottiglia comporta richieste e responsabilità in ogni minuto. Il nome sulla bottiglia trasmette sia le competenze e le conoscenze del passato sia l'impegno per il futuro".

Si dice che nel 1668 Dom Pérignon abbia scoperto come produrre lo spumante; oggi la sua tecnica è utilizzata in tutto il mondo, anche se la Champagne continua a produrre alcuni dei migliori vini. La regione vinicola più settentrionale della Francia, la Champagne ospita oggi 15.000 produttori e 290 "case". Di solito è richiesta una miscela di varietà di uve: lo Chardonnay bianco per aggiungere frutta ed eleganza e due rossi - Pinot Noir e Pinot Meunier - per fornire corpo e spina dorsale.
