"Crystal clear, with a beautiful golden shimmer through colours of straw yellow and reflections of gold; the bead is fine, delicate and lively. The vintage captivates a blend of ripe citrus fruit flavors with pastry notes. The nose is fresh, smooth, and reveals a natural expression of radiant flavors. On the palate, the wine's effervescence unfurls into an invigorating sensation. It tightens up on the finish to leave a lingering taste imbued with ginger and liquorice. Possessing a natural delicacy, this Comtes de Champagne 2013 extends its energy with dynamism and a striking purity of aromas Perfect for a special celebration, this champagne is the ideal match for a seafood, shellfish or fish entrée." - House Notes
"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, apricot, passion fruit, baked apple tart, mint and yellow flowers. It is one of the most explosive, extroverted Comtes I have ever tasted. Impressive." - 98 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"Light, bright yellow colour, young for its age. An arrestingly gorgeous bouquet of lightly browned toast, lightly buttered, with small white flowers and apple blossom nuances, the palate intense and refined, focused and long, with tremendous complexity that is gently stated and immediately super-charming to the senses. A wonderful wine, vivacious yet profound." - 98 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
