Comtes de Champagne is Taittinger's flagship, and it only gets made in vintages the house actually believes in. It is 100% Chardonnay from grand cru villages of the Cote des Blancs, Avize and Cramant and Chouilly and Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and only the first press makes the cut. It then sits for close to a decade in the chalk cellars under Reims, quarried by the Gallo-Romans and later put to use by the monks of the Saint-Nicaise abbey. What comes out is Champagne with real tension, chalky and saline and precise, and built to keep going for decades. Drink one now with something worth cooking, and put another away.

"The 2014 Comtes de Champagne is pristine. In this tasting, it comes across as a mini-2008, similar in its linear personality, with just a touch more mid-palate creaminess. Readers will find a Comtes that plays in the realm of tension and energy. Citrus confit, white flowers, chalk, mint and chamomile are all finely sketched. Light tropical overtones grace the finish. What an absolute delight. The 2014 can be enjoyed now or cellared. Dosage is 9 grams per liter." —Antonio Galloni

"Occupying a stylistic middle ground between the incisiveness of the 2013 and the fleshier textures of the 2012, Taittinger’s 2014 Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne—disgorged in July 2024 with a dosage of nine grams per liter—has turned out beautifully. It offers aromas of orange peel, peach, pear and brioche mingled with hazelnut and burnt buttered toast. On the palate, it is full-bodied, ample and textural, with a layered yet crisp core of fruit, considerable tension and a long, chalky finish. Harmonious and racy-fresh though it is, this is a marginally richer rendition than the 2013 tasted alongside it, yet both promise excellent longevity and will make for fascinating comparative tastings in the years to come." —Kristaps Karklins

"Lusciously creamy nose. Tiny, dense bead and still quite a bit of tension and marked acidity on the palate. There's no hurry at allt to drink this! Strong lemon notes on the end. Very densely wound. You could drink it now but I think it will be even more rewarding next year. Impressive length on the palate." —Jancis Robinson MW
