Top 10 Prestige "Tete de Cuvee" Champagnes 2009

Taittinger 1998 Comtes Blanc de Blancs

Champagne Taittinger
Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs
1998 Brut Vintage

The Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs is made from white Chardonnay grapes grown in the top grands crus vineyard of Côte des Blancs. It is only made in certain years and the 1998 is a superb vintage that can be enjoyed now or saved for a special celebration in the future. Handcrafted from the first pressings, the wine is stored in Taittinger’s cellars that date back to the 4th century for nearly a decade. Five per cent of the wines used in this unique blend are aged in new oak barrels. We found white blossoms on the nose, and citrus on the palate, leading to a balanced finish and long aftertaste. Try it with seafood.

Price: $155

Equally exquisite is the 2003 Comtes de Champagne Rosé; $270.
