Taittinger COMTES DE CHAMPAGNE Rosé 2012 12,5% Vol. 0,75l in gift box
£358.46
The Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2012 with 12.5% vol. in a 0.75 litre bottle including gift box is one of the most prestigious rosé champagnes and represents the highest expression of the House of Taittinger. The cuvée consists of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, using only grapes from the best sites in the Grand Cru regions of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The proportion of Pinot Noir contains a significant amount of red wine from Bouzy, which gives this rosé its exceptional depth, structure and aromatic intensity.
The 2012 vintage is considered one of the greatest champagne vintages of modern times. After vinification, the Comtes de Champagne Rosé matures for many years in the deep chalk cellars of Reims, where it develops its characteristic elegance, complexity and creaminess. The result is a champagne of impressive finesse, characterised by mineral tension, multi-layered fruit aromas and perfect balance. With ageing potential until 2040, this rosé demonstrates its exceptional longevity and is one of the most exquisite prestige cuvées in its category – a champagne with majestic expression and long-lasting depth.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the champagne is a vibrant pink colour with a fine, elegant perlage. The nose reveals intense notes of citrus fruit, blood orange, red and black candied fruit and quince. On the palate, it presents fruity flavours of preserved cherries, underpinned by a ripe structure, clear minerality and multi-layered complexity. The finish is precise, silky, intense and long-lasting, characterised by red fruit and subtle spice.
Residual sugar: 9 g/l
The Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2012 harmonises perfectly with scallops, tuna tartare, grilled lobster, duck breast, game birds, truffle dishes and fine French pâtisserie with red fruits. It is also excellent as a luxurious aperitif or with high-quality tasting menus. Served at 5-7 °C, this rosé reveals its full aromatic depth and presents itself as one of the finest rosé champagnes with impressive, long-lasting elegance.
