Taittinger emerged from family sale in 2005 and buy-back in 2008 with a purified vision of quality from a more sustainable approach in the vineyards to revitalized winemaking, focusing on only the best of their own vineyards and growers' produce. Members of the Taittinger family are involved in the running of the company and the blending of the base wines. The selection of wines for the various blends has been refined, and the time on lees has been increased to lift the quality of the wines from an already high standard. Taittinger is back at the top of their game. Despite longer than usual ageing on lees, from non-vintage to the prestige Comtes de Champagne, Taittinger Champagnes are refined, nervy wines of great purity and finesse. One of Champagne's finest and most consistent blanc de blancs prestige cuvées, Comtes takes full advantage of the extensive holdings in the Côte des Blancs. Drawn mostly from Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, this wine showcases the best of the region's Chardonnay grapes. A refined, nervy wine of great purity and finesse, Comtes de Champagne is a true delight for the senses. Suitable for both women and men, this wine is perfect for any occasion.
