The Comtes de Champagne once resided in Reims, in the 13th Century building which Taittinger purchased soon after the Great War. They were descended from the Comtes de Troyes, Burgundian noblemen. Tracing back their origins to the 9th Century, these counts were initially feudal. As the Champagne region flourished and trade increased, however, like all civilised races they released it would be much more lucrative to stop bickering and to support the local trade, thus hugely bolstering their local economy. This wise decision is accredited to Thibault IV, a descendant of Charlemagne, who was a staunch supporter of the many Champagne fairs attended by merchants from across Europe. It was Thibault IV that Taittinger honoured when they released the Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs with the 1952 vintage. This is a blend of largely Grand Cru wines; the fruit is generally sourced from Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger and Pierry, although the exact blend will differ from year to year.
