Parker about Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 2013
The 2013 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne's bouquet is compellingly fresh and minty, revealing aromas of white fruit—notably pear and apple—marzipan and sweet spices, as well as a light touch of citrus mingled with classy autolytic notes. On the palate, this is a structured, tensile and ethereal Champagne with high acidity—a sign of a classic vintage—animated by a mousse of striking finesse and delicacy. Although already enjoyable, it should develop well for several decades.

Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 2013

Taittinger's Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 2013 is an exclusive vintage champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes from the Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs, particularly from the renowned communes of Avize, Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. These grapes give the champagne the elegant structure and purity typical of Taittinger's top-quality products. The 2013 vintage is distinguished by its freshness and remarkable ageing potential.
In the glass, the champagne presents a delicate golden hue with fine, lively bubbles. The bouquet reveals aromas of white peach, citrus fruits, and subtle floral notes, complemented by a mineral freshness. On the palate, the Comtes de Champagne is structured and lively, with a harmonious interplay of acidity and fruit. The creamy texture and the long, elegant finish, with its mineral nuances, make it a special experience.
This champagne is perfect as an aperitif, but also pairs beautifully with finer dishes such as oysters, caviar, or delicate fish dishes. Its complex structure and elegance give it great aging potential, making it ideal for special occasions or collectors. With this vintage, Taittinger combines the best qualities of the Côte des Blancs and the house's distinctive expertise in a fine glass of champagne.
