Why we follow Taittinger Comtes de Champagne
The estate
The prestige Blanc de Blancs of family-owned Taittinger in Reims, reacquired by the family in 2006 after a brief period of private-equity ownership. Led by Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and now by Vitalie Taittinger, President since 2020, with Clovis Taittinger. The wine is named for Thibaud IV, Count of Champagne.
The vineyards
Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs is entirely Chardonnay, drawn exclusively from the Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs — Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. Taittinger is a large house combining substantial estate holdings with purchased fruit.
In the glass
A small proportion of the Blanc de Blancs, around five per cent, is aged in oak barrels, and the wine sees roughly ten years on lees before release. There is also a Pinot Noir-based Comtes de Champagne Rosé. Comtes is one of the great-value prestige Blanc de Blancs relative to its peers. The Crusader story attached to Thibaud IV is a genuine talking point, though the accompanying vine-origin legend is folklore.

How allocations are offered
It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.
Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.
Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.
Change your requests at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
