Vintage 2015
And, as it turned out, a promising one. Favourable weather conditions led the CIVC to forecast an early start to the harvests, especially in the Aube and Sézanne regions. The particularly hot, dry summer resulted in some irregularity in the picking times in different areas. At Taittinger, the harvests began on 4 September in the vineyards in the Aube, a week before those in the Marne.
These involved 800 seasonal workers, spread over the Champagne producer's 288 hectares, with a yield of 11,800 kg/hectare (the compulsory yields being 10,500 kg/hectare for market yield and 12,400 kg/hectare for agronomic yield).
Everything already suggested that the vintage would be a «grand vin»: the vines were in excellent health and the grapes reached a very good level of ripeness (10.5% potential alcohol). Alternating periods of dryness and rain resulted in a beneficial water stress which was more pronounced in the Aube than in the Marne due to the composition of the subsoil. The impact was most noticeable in the Aube, where the bunches often consisted of small grapes, which were nevertheless very ripe. For cellar master Loïc Dupont, it was a beautiful harvest: the Chardonnay was fruity and expressive, with a golden colour. The Pinot Noir had a pleasant lightness with a base of red fruit aromas. The Pinot Meunier was ultimately more varied, despite a satisfactory level of ripeness.
"We are very pleased to have brought grapes of exceptional quality to the presses, this year, particularly as this was an atypical growing season. So what will the wines be like? No doubt they too will be exceptional" Vincent Collard, Vineyard Director
“The 2015 Comtes de Champagne is delicate, airy and wonderfully expressive. Lemon peel, white flowers, chalk, mint and slate are finely sculpted in the glass. Light on its feet and crystalline, the 2015 is terrific. There's a touch of savoriness that is typical of the year, but it is not dominant or overpowering. At present, the 2015 shows a bit of tightness from its recent disgorgement, but that should not be an issue in time. Comtes is a real success in a year that was quite challenging. Dosage is 9 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2025.” 97 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2026
