Taittinger "Comtes de Champagne" Brut Blanc de Blancs 1998 is a prestigious vintage Champagne crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs. Following extended ageing, the 1998 vintage may reveal a refined bouquet of honey, dried fruit, brioche, and toasted nuts. A small proportion of the wine is matured in oak barrels, adding depth and structure. A distinctive collector's Champagne for enthusiasts of mature vintages. Its present character depends on the bottle's storage history.

Champagne Taittinger ir viens no prestižākajiem Šampaņas namiem, kura vēsture aizsākas 1734. gadā, kad tika dibināts uzņēmums Forest-Fourneaux.

1932. gadā namu iegādājās Pierre Taittinger, izveidojot ģimenes zīmolu, kas kļuva par elegances un izsmalcinātības simbolu.

Taittinger atrodas Reimsā, un tā vēsturiskie pagrabi ir izvietoti senās krīta pazemes galerijās, kas nodrošina piemērotus apstākļus ilgstošai šampanieša nogatavināšanai.

Nams ir īpaši pazīstams ar Chardonnay nozīmīgo lomu savos vīnos, kas piešķir tiem svaigumu, smalkumu un elegantu struktūru. Taittinger joprojām ir ģimenes pārvaldīts šampanieša nams, kura filozofijas pamatā ir tradīcijas, precizitāte un kvalitāte.

The nose reveals aromas of dried apricot, ripe lemon, acacia honey, brioche, and toasted hazelnuts. On the palate, the Champagne is mature, elegant, and creamy, with a delicate texture, balanced acidity, and pronounced minerality. The finish is long and harmonious, with lingering citrus zest, almond, and toasted nuances.

An excellent match for lobster in butter sauce, scallops, roasted turbot, truffle risotto, and aged Comté cheese. The Champagne’s mature brioche and nutty notes complement rich dishes, while its mineral freshness balances creamy and buttery textures.

Fresh chardonnay shows bright fruity profile and strong body. Chardonnay wines usually have expressed aromatic complexity and usually it happens due to winemaking techniques (particularly the use of oak promote notes of vanilla, smoke and hints of spices) rather than the variety's intrinsic qualities. Also, this variety can develop cream, yeast and brioche bread notes. Because of this high level of winemaker influence, Chardonnay has become famous as the "winemaker's wine".
Blanc de Blancs is a white champagne made only from white grapes, mainly Chardonnay. Champagne style can vary from light and crisp wines to creamy and rich examples.
The Champagne region combines specific climate, soil, and topography conditions that form a unique terroir currently used by approx. 15 000 vine-growers and 300 wine houses. The region has 4 sub-regions - Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Bar. Each provides customers with a different style of sparkling wine. The dominant grapes are Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier which are mainly used in Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne, while Chardonnay shows excellent results in Côte des Blancs. The region is even more appealing because of the so-called "Growe's Champagne" wines, the production of which is overseen by one family from start to finish - they grow and press grapes, make wine, and bottle it in the territory of one wine house. This gives the wine a true charm, aura, and unique flavor.
