Champagne Taittinger "Comtes de Champagne" Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs 2013

A towering Champagne, rich, sumptuous and explosive! Deep and mineral, with plenty of power, very fine bubbles and a long driving finish. Critically-acclaimed luxury Grand Cru vintage Blanc de Blancs. 99 “Fantastic complexity here with aromas of toast, biscuit, lemon, almond, chalk and some fennel. It's long, sleek and mineral, with tight, very fine bubbles and so much tension and precision. Very long and chalky finish.” – James Suckling 98 “The 2013 Comtes de Champagne is a towering Champagne, as it was last year. Rich, sumptuous and explosive, the 2013 soars out of the glass with a captivating mix of tropical fruit, apricot, passion fruit, baked apple tart, mint and yellow flowers. It is one of the most explosive, extroverted Comtes I have ever tasted. Impressive. Drink 2025-2053.” – Vinous 98 Cellar Selection “This beautiful Chardonnay from five top Grand Cru vineyards is textured with fruit that is still impressively perfumed. Its concentration has allowed it to remain perennially young. Although there are hints of toastiness, the Champagne has many more years of potential.” – Wine Enthusiast
