What is this wine?
Founded in 1734, Taittinger is one of Champagne’s historic houses, known for its Chardonnay-driven style. Comtes de Champagne is the estate’s prestige cuvée, a Blanc de Blancs made exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs (notably Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Cramant). Only produced in the best vintages, it is fermented in stainless steel and aged for at least 10 years on the lees before release. The 2007 vintage, though cooler and earlier than surrounding years, produced wines of finesse, precision, and longevity.

Why get this wine?
Comtes de Champagne is one of the world’s greatest Blanc de Blancs Champagnes, often compared with Salon and Dom Ruinart, but still relatively undervalued. The 2007 vintage offers crystalline purity and elegance, making it a perfect choice for collectors or anyone celebrating with a legendary Champagne.

What does this wine taste like?
Lively citrus, green apple, and pear with layers of brioche, almond, white flowers, and chalky minerality. Silky and precise, with a fine mousse and an exceptionally long, saline finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Beautiful now for its energy, but will age gracefully through 2040. Ideal with caviar, oysters, or refined seafood dishes.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93
"This is a wine I have followed closely since release and it's definitely one that has progressed impressively, even if it took its sweet time to do so. A relatively restrained and maturing nose reflects notes of cool petrol, green apple, citrus rind, white flower and a hint of yeast character. The beautifully refined and equally restrained middle weight flavors possess a really lovely mouthfeel, indeed it's almost delicate, thanks to the very fine mousse though this is not especially dry on the nicely complex finish, though this is not to say sweet."

Antonio Galloni

"The 2007 Comtes de Champagne is just starting to open aromatically, making it a very fine choice for drinking now. Hints of apricot, dried flowers, candied ginger, spice, chamomile, marzipan, brioche and lightly honeyed notes fill out the layers. There's gorgeous textural density and presence to match its generous personality. Soft contours wrap it all together in style. What a delight." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 95
"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." -William Kelley

"Very tight and tense with strong lemon-cream notes. Still amazingly youthful. But with sore-throat-healing qualities. Firm acidity and some lime notes."

Decanter

D 96
"A plentiful, early harvest after a cool and rainy August did little for the reputation of the 2007 vintage. Still, I find that the quality of the Chardonnay this year is often underestimated. The Comtes de Champagne is, with Salon, the wine of the vintage, with an aroma of ripe Golden Delicious apples, lemon peel and linden flowers. There are very noticeable notes of saline minerality, smoke and toast. The wine is approachable and silky textured on the palate, with a lively mousse and rich, mouth-filling plumpness."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 97
"Always one of the great Champagnes, this comes from a year that is generally regarded as good but not great. And yet, with this Champagne is magnificent. The wine has some good bottle age, hinting at toast while also keeping the tight, mineral edge of a great wine from the Côte des Blancs." -Roger Voss
