Description from the seller

One bottle of Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2013 in original gift box — universally acclaimed as the finest Comtes in a generation, hailed by some critics as the greatest since the legendary 1982s. First produced in 1952, Comtes de Champagne is Taittinger’s flagship prestige cuvée — 100% Chardonnay sourced exclusively from five Grand Cru villages: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. 95% fermented in stainless steel, 5% in new oak barrels, then aged for a decade in Taittinger’s famous chalk crayères beneath Reims. Antonio Galloni called the 2013 “towering — rich, sumptuous and explosive, soaring out of the glass with tropical fruit, apricot, passion fruit, baked apple tart, mint and yellow flowers. One of the most explosive, extroverted Comtes I have ever tasted.” Rated 99/100 James Suckling, 98/100 Vinous, 98/100 Wine Enthusiast, 96/100 Wine Advocate, 96/100 Wine Spectator, 96/100 Decanter. Best from 2023–2045. Bottle in original gift box, perfect condition. Stored in a professional temperature-controlled cellar.
