We're excited to extend a special offer on one of Champagne's most refined expressions—Taittinger Comtes de Champagne— the 2013 vintage is now available to everyone, including those who couldn't attend last Saturday’s Taittinger tasting at special "Summer of Champagne" pricing.
Produced only in exceptional vintages, Comtes de Champagne represents the very best of Taittinger’s elegant style. This tête de cuvée is made entirely from Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs. Only the first press juice is used. About 5% of the wine is aged in barrel for 3–4 months, a modest touch that adds subtle layers of complexity and finesse to the final blend.
It’s a Champagne of elegance, detail, and precision—and now, thanks to our Summer of Champagne event, it’s available at a special price for a limited time.

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.

The 2013 Comtes de Champagne is a towering Champagne, as it was last year. Rich, sumptuous and explosive, the 2013 soars out of the glass with a captivating mix of tropical fruit, apricot, passion fruit, baked apple tart, mint and yellow flowers. It is one of the most explosive, extroverted Comtes I have ever tasted. Impressive. 2025-2053 (AG)

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. 2023-2045 (YC)
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
The Marilyn Monroe of Champagne, with voluptuous notes of lemon meringue, poached apricot, black cherry, brioche and candied ginger trimmed nicely by sleek, mouthwatering acidity. A minerally underpinning of smoke and oyster shell pushes through to drive the finish. It's hard to stop sipping this bright and harmonious bubbly. Drink now through 2038. —A.N.
