Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1989
The Winery
Taittinger
Taittinger is one of the few Champagne houses still owned and operated by its original, founding family. Distinguished for their unique higher proportion of Chardonnay and longer aging period before release, the house repeatedly produces critically acclaimed wines with consistent scores. The prestigious Champagne tends to be more delicate and refreshing, and they make a range of styles from demi-sec and rosé to limited edition special releases. From Grand Cru vineyards in Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims regions, Taittinger Champagne is elegant, luxurious and will remain a cellar-worthy collectible for years to come.
Summary
The Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1989 is a distinguished prestige cuvée crafted from 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay sourced from the Côte des Blancs. This vintage is noted for its warm climate, which lends a rich, mature character to the wine. The lengthy aging on lees in Taittinger’s historic Roman chalk cellars imparts complex flavors of baked apple, honey, and brioche, alongside hazelnut and a hint of chalky minerality. With an alcohol content of around 12%, this sparkling wine is now fully evolved, offering a silky and expansive drinking experience. Its rarity and the impact of disgorgement make it a unique find for collectors.
