Champagne Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs Brut 2013

97–100
/100

Lobenberg: Taittingers Topcuvée kommt mit all der Reichhaltigkeit und geschmeidigen Üppigkeit dieses beeindruckenden Jahrgangs. Dichte gelbe Steinobstfrucht bis hin zur Exotik, zerstoßener Kalkstein, Crème und Hefeteig, auch eine feine Meeresbrise darunter. Komplex, kraftvoll und tief. Ein monumentale Comtes, die sich erst in ein paar Jahren so richtig entfalten wird, aber dann geht die Post ab mit diesem Blockbuster. 97-100/100

Parker über: Champagne Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs Brut

-- Parker: Taittinger’s 2013 Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne, disgorged in December 2023 with a dosage of nine grams per liter, is well worth seeking out. Derived from a long, slow ripening season marked by cool nights and an October harvest, it is slightly less acid-driven and a touch fleshier than the 2008, offering up a deep bouquet of nashi pear, lemon confit, freshly baked bread, almond paste and a gentle smoky reduction edge. On the palate, it is full-bodied and incisive, with a concentrated core of fruit, bright acids and considerable tension, culminating in a persistent, saline finish. While already indicative of its potential, its best days are still ahead, and it should continue to improve over the next two decades or more. Choosing a favorite between the 2013 and 2014 will be difficult, as both are strong editions of Comtes.

Suckling über: Champagne Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs Brut

-- Suckling: 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.

Galloni über: Champagne Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs Brut

-- Galloni: 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. 98/100

Wine Enthusiast über: Champagne Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs Brut

-- Wine Enthusiast: 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.

Jeb Dunnuck über: Champagne Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs Brut

-- Jeb Dunnuck: A very compelling vintage for Taittinger, the 2013 Champagne Blanc De Blancs Comtes de Champagne is more structured and deeper compared to the 2014. It has an impeccable balance of decadence and tension. Full-bodied, with persistent focus, it has a mouthwatering finish with vibrant driving acidity and saltiness that accents the wine's core of ripe stone fruit and citrus oil texture. This is going to be a great vintage to drink over the coming decades. Drink 2025-2050.

Decanter über: Champagne Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs Brut

-- Decanter: Tasted six months on from release, the restrained quality of this vintage is shining a little brighter with its lime leaf, floral honey and green mango scents, touches of oyster shell and an emerging floral honey depth, with few signs of outgoing creaminess or nuttiness just yet. Citric juiciness drives the narrow, long palate, perfectly built for ageing; this continues to be a vintage to watch. A blend of all the grand cru villages of the Côte des Blancs.

Wine Spectator über: Champagne Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs Brut

-- Wine Spectator: 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.
