Energy and depth define this 2013 Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs, with vivid lemon and white grapefruit layered over pear, apricot and a touch of marzipan and brioche. The mousse is ultra-fine and the high, racy acidity drives a long, chalky, mineral finish that feels both powerful and weightless. Still youthful and taut, it promises even greater complexity with time in bottle.

Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs is Taittinger’s flagship prestige cuvée, a 100% Chardonnay, always-vintage champagne sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs (notably Avize, Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger). Crafted only in exceptional years from first-press juice, with a small portion aged in oak and then long-matured for about a decade in Taittinger’s historic chalk cellars in Reims, it is celebrated for its refined, mineral-driven elegance, finesse of mousse, and remarkable ageing potential.
