2013 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs

The 2013 Comes 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 plance in October in what has become the exception rather than the norm in Champagne. VinousMediat 98
