Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1996 comes from the chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs. Aged for over ten years, this Chardonnay reveals white flowers, citrus and toasted brioche. Silky, lively and mineral, it has a precise finish. Enjoy now or cellar it; pair with seafood.
A family-owned house rooted in Reims since 1932, Taittinger embodies the elegance of Chardonnay and the prestige of Champagne’s Grands Crus.
- Terroir: Five Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs – Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger – where chalky soils shape wines of vibrant minerality.
- Winemaking: Meticulous blending and extended aging to reveal the purity of the grape variety and the tension characteristic of great cuvées.

Serve at 8–10°C in a narrow Champagne flute to concentrate the aromas.
