Taittinger Comtes Blanc De Blanc 2013

Produced only in exceptional vintage years and intended as the ultimate expression of the Taittinger style, this wine is composed entirely of Chardonnay grapes grown in the top vineyards of the prestigious Côte des Blancs. Only the first-pressed juice is used. A small proportion (5%) of the blend spends three to four months in new oak barrels, enhancing the intrinsic qualities of the final blend. Prior to disgorgement, the Blanc de Blancs is aged for 10 years on the lees in 13th-century chalk cellars that were once the property of Saint Nicaise abbey. A powerful, refined, expressive and complex Champagne, with notes of citrus fruits, lime blossom, and caramelized grapefruit. The long, rich ending reveals sweet licorice aromas.
