Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2013

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2013

Classical Structure. Intellectual Elegance.

Comtes de Champagne 2013 is a study in restraint, precision, and long-form elegance — a Champagne that rewards patience and thoughtful appreciation. Crafted exclusively from 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay and aged for years in Taittinger’s historic chalk cellars beneath Saint-Nicaise, this is a Comtes built more for longevity than immediacy.

The 2013 vintage, shaped by a cool, late-growing season, produced wines of striking acidity, linearity, and mineral definition. In Comtes form, that translates into a Champagne of taut structure and crystalline purity, one that unfolds slowly and deliberately.

Aromatically, the wine opens with lemon peel, green apple, and white peach, followed by notes of chalk dust, oyster shell, almond, and subtle brioche. The palate is precise and architectural, driven by vibrant acidity, a refined mousse, and a long, mineral finish that speaks clearly of Grand Cru Chardonnay and time underground.

This is Comtes for the purist — less about opulence, more about line, tension, and evolution. While compelling today with air, it is unmistakably a wine for the cellar, poised to gain depth and complexity over decades.
