Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2008

The Comtes de Champagne is Taittinger's prestige cuvée, and as a Blanc de Blancs from Chardonnay it shows the house style at its finest. The 2008 vintage opens with a delicate bouquet and a lively start on the palate. Ripeness and roundness are in balance, and the finish is sparkling and long.

The 2008 has great ageing potential. It already drinks beautifully today, and with a few years of patience in the cellar it should gain further. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a generous white wine glass so the delicate bouquet can unfold. At the table it suits seafood and fish starters, and it is equally fitting for festive occasions that deserve a special glass.
