2013 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Magnums

Posted by Ian McFadden

For many years, Comtes de Champagne has been one of our favorite Champagnes. We have enjoyed it in its youth and have been blown away by bottles with decades of age on them.

Today, I'm happy to offer the 2013 Comtes de Champagne in magnums. 

This is simply a great vintage for one of the best and most reliable champagnes around. In magnums, this champagne will be a stunner for many decades. 

I should also mention that 2013 Comtes de Champagne magnums are not widely available. There's only one other listing. 

The 2013 vintage in Champagne is one of our favorites in the past couple of decades. It was a cool, throw-back vintage with many growers harvesting in October, which is very late by recent standards. The champagnes from this year possess so much poise and finesse.

In 2013, Comtes de Champagne has a beautiful incisive elegance with loads of silky texture and refinement. The wine is a study in nuance and detail.

This is a thrilling vintage of Comtes de Champagne. Given the wine's verve and depth, we expect it to age gloriously in magnum.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media: "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, apricto, passion fruit, baked apple tart, mint and yellow flowers. It is one of the most explosive, extroverted Comtes I have ever tasted. Impressive."
