Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2009 is a vintage-dated rosé Champagne from Maison Taittinger in Reims. Comte de Champagne is Tattinger`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. This 2009 rosé expression is produced from 70% Chardonnay (a high proportion of this variety being Taittinger`s signature) and 30% Pinot Noir grapes, a small proportion of which were matured in new oak barrels. Only the free run juice was used. "A beautiful colour of bronze and orange with some pink at the end. Aromas of dried strawberry and orange peel with orange blossom and other flowers. Medium to full body with a round, creamy texture, very fine bubbles and a lovely, long finish. Plenty of subtle pie-crust and biscuit flavours at the end. Yet it remains so complex. Very vinous."
