✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Taittinger Collection was conceived in the late 1970s by Claude Taittinger, establishing a bridge between the worlds of contemporary art and fine Champagne. For this highly collectible fourteenth edition, the house collaborated with the legendary Brazilian social documentary photographer Sebastião Salgado. The bottle features a striking black-and-white photograph of a leopard in the Barba Azul Savannah of Bolivia, symbolizing the majesty of nature. Beneath the artwork lies Taittinger's exceptional 2008 vintage Millésimé, a year celebrated as one of the greatest in modern Champagne history due to its cool, steady growing season and perfect harvest conditions. Crafted from equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced predominantly from Grand Cru vineyards, the wine was aged for several years in the house's historic, subterranean Gallo-Roman chalk crayères, resulting in a masterpiece of laser-like acidity, deep minerality, and rich autolytic complexity.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Champagne Taittinger trækker sine rødder tilbage til 1734, hvor det oprindelige champagnehus blev grundlagt af Jacques Fourneaux, før det i 1932 fik sin moderne identitet under Pierre Taittingers visionære ledelse. Det familiedrevne hus har i dag hovedsæde i Reims i hjertet af Champagne, og her modner de fineste cuvéer dybt nede i de UNESCO-fredede, gallo-romerske kridtkældre under det historiske Saint-Nicaise-kloster. Taittinger er særligt kendt for sit store fokus på Chardonnay-druen, som tilfører husets champagner en enestående elegance, rank mineralitet og delikate aromatiske nuancer. Kronen på værket er den ikoniske Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs – en absolut reference-årgangschampagne, der udelukkende skabes på druer fra de bedste Grand Cru-marker i Côte des Blancs.
