Merchant's description

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2008 is a vintage, prestige-cuvée Champagne produced by Maison Taittinger in Reims, France. Comte de Champagne is Taittinger`s prestige cuvée and is made entirely from grapes sourced from the best vines in the prestigious Côte des Blancs and Montage de Reims regions. The 2008 release is an assemblage of 70% Pinot Noir with 15% red wine and the rest Chardonnay. "With notes of spices, black cherry, morello cherry and black fruit, the bouquet is impressively complex and delicious. On the palate, the vinous texture, fine bubbles, depth and complexity allow for a long, chalky, chiselled finish. This is a gastronomic Champagne rosé with great ageing potential." Decanter, 2021
