Champagne Taittinger 'Comtes de Champagne' Blanc de Blancs Brut 1973
Vintage Character
Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 1973 is a mature prestige Champagne made entirely from Chardonnay. The cuvée draws on five Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs and is released only in selected years. The 1973 season combined a hot, dry summer with September rain before sunshine returned for harvest, producing ripe material with enough acidity for prolonged development.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
After more than five decades, the profile is expected to centre on dried citrus, lemon peel and orchard fruit, supported by brioche, toast and roasted almond. Bottle age can add honey, caramel, hazelnut and coffee tones, while Chardonnay acidity keeps the palate focused. Decanter’s exact-vintage record lists 12.00% alcohol. Serve gently chilled and avoid vigorous handling; mature bottles vary, and condition is especially important for old Champagne.
Winery Background
Comtes de Champagne is Taittinger’s emblematic Blanc de Blancs, associated with Grand Cru Chardonnay and extended ageing in the house’s historic chalk cellars beneath Reims. A small portion of the blend traditionally sees young oak before long lees maturation, contributing texture without obscuring freshness. This 1973 is best approached as a rare mature bottle rather than a fruit-forward modern release. Pair it with lobster, scallops, turbot, roast chicken or aged Comté, allowing its savoury complexity to lead. It rewards patient service in a large glass, where its aromatic detail, texture and finish can unfold without losing freshness.
