Description

The blend. Produced in the cellars of the former Saint-Nicaise abbey (13th century) in Reims, Tattinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs receives all of the lavish care and attention it needs to reach its peak. Every bottle of Comtes de Champagne strictly adheres to all of the following to make it such a rare luxury and the connoisseurs choice: * The Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs cuvee is made entirely from Chardonnays only from the best vines in the prestigeous Cote des Blancs * It is only produced when the harvest is of exceptional quality worthy of a vintage year * Only the wine from the first press – the Cuvee * is used: a sure garantee of finesse * 5% of the wines used to make it have been aged for 4 months in new oak barrels (a third of which are renewed every year), enhancing the intrinsic qualities and complexities of the final blend. * Only by slow and patient aging for almost 10 years in the Saint-Nicaise chalk pits (Crayeres) does this cuvee of exceptional quality come out into the light.
