Description

Overview & Provenance

The 1964 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs is a legendary, historic prestige cuvée celebrated as one of the greatest Champagnes of the twentieth century. Sourced entirely from premier Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, including Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, this wine represents the absolute summit of mature Chardonnay elegance. As a result, it delivers breathtaking tertiary complexity and aristocratic pedigree.

The 1964 growing season in Champagne was a historic, warm vintage that produced small yields of fully ripened, perfectly balanced fruit. In addition, six decades of slow maturation in Taittinger’s ancient Gallo-Roman chalk crayères have preserved astonishing vitality. Therefore, this rare bottle offers collectors an unforgettable fine wine experience.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Character

Aromatics: First, the glass opens with aromas of dried apricot, candied orange peel, and honeycomb. Soon after, profound tertiary notes of roasted hazelnut, white truffle, mocha, beeswax, and damp chalk unfold.
Palate: In addition, the palate feels silky, weightless, and seamless, supported by a gentle, soft bead. Mature notes of dried citrus, toasted brioche, and smoky minerality echo on an endless, aristocratic finish.

Service & Culinary Pairings

Serving Suggestions: First, stand the bottle upright 24 hours prior to service. Next, pour gently at 54°F–57°F (12°C–14°C) in wide white wine stems, avoiding excessive aeration to protect its delicate aromatics.

Recommended Pairings: Because of its delicate, tertiary depth and complex savory layers, this mature Champagne pairs best with subtle cuisine:

Pan-seared sweetbreads with morel mushroom reduction
Roast turbot with delicate white wine butter sauce
Shaved white Alba truffles over fresh tagliolini
Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano or vintage Comté

Collector Notes & Cellar Potential
