Taittinger Cuvée Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut Grand Cru 2013
A monumental Champagne for charisma, finesse, and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates noble citrus with mineral notes and delicately refined pastry hints. On the palate, it is straight, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of Chardonnay and the verticality of the sip. A demonstration of style that represents the absolute pinnacle of the Côte des Blancs.
Taittinger Cuvée Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut Grand Cru 2013
The Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2013 by Taittinger is a monumental work, the sublime expression of Chardonnay sourced exclusively from the five Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs (Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Oger). The 2013 vintage was a "classic" year, marked by late ripening that gave the wines a legendary acidic structure and pinpoint precision. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: crisp notes of candied citrus, white pear, and linden flowers merge with deep aromas of freshly baked brioche, toasted almond, salted butter, and a mineral streak reminiscent of pure chalk. On the palate, it is vertical, architectural, and sumptuous; the entry is straight, dominated by dense yet incredibly agile texture, with an aristocratic balsamic freshness that carries the sip toward a saline, endless, and vibrant finish.
