Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Blanc de Blancs Brut, 2013
- White Sparkling
- Chardonnay
Taittinger of course needs little introduction. Their dedication to excellence extends to every aspect of winemaking. From the hand-harvested grapes to the artful blending process and extended ageing in the cellars, each step is a testament to their pursuit of perfection. Taittinger's commitment to crafting exceptional Champagnes has earned them a place among the world's most respected wine producers.
“We will never produce a large quantity of Comtes de Champagne because the technical characteristics we require so that this cuvée can be a very great wine are essentially unique in Champagne and very financially demanding. A triumphant blend of force and elegance, the Comtes de Champagne displays an eternal youth that it derives from the greatest Chardonnay of our province. Connoisseurs will appreciate it."
Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger
What the critics say:
"The 2013 Comtes de Champagne captures all the pedigree of this great vintage in its energy, depth and vibrancy. Lemon confit, dried flowers, chamomile, spice and crushed rocks all race across the palate. Passionfruit, ginger, marzipan and mint appear later, filling out the layers beautifully. Harvest took place in October in what has become the exception rather than the norm in Champagne."
"Nervy and tight with notes of crushed almonds, chalk, white grapefruit, digestive biscuits, lemons and apricot stones. Hints of fennel and white pepper. Deep and mineral, with plenty of power. Very fine bubbles. Long drive at the end. Try after 2024."
