Taittinger Comtes is one of our very favorite tête de cuvée Champagnes. Made exclusively from Chardonnay, it is an amazing example of precision, purity and breathtaking energy. Between us we have tasted most vintages back to 1973, and the wines develop incredible complexity with age, while they can also be enjoyed in their exuberant youth. Comtes is made from grapes grown in the five villages of the Cote des Blancs classified as Grands Crus: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. Described as the most perfect expression of the Taittinger house style, Taittinger only produce their prestige Blanc de Blancs in the very best years since the first cuvée in 1952, and the 2013 is another stunning example.

#71 James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of France 2023

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. Disgorged end of 2023. Drink or hold. - James Suckling

The 2013 Comtes de Champagne captures all the pedigree of this great vintage in its energy, depth and vibrancy. Lemon confit, dried flowers, chamomile, spice and crushed rocks all race across the palate. Passionfruit, ginger, marzipan and mint appear later, filling out the layers beautifully. Harvest took place in October in what has become the exception rather than the norm in Champagne. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

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. Drink now and at least up to 2027. — Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
