Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2009 | Bottle 75cl - Presentation pack

Description

Maison Taittinger's Cuvée Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2009 is a gourmet wine, marked by brilliant chalky acidity and exquisite freshness.

The 2009 vintage is the perfect expression of Champagne's continental climate. The result is a brilliantly accomplished Comtes de Champagne Rosé with a unique, light yet sunny signature, born of Champagne's greatest limestone terroirs.

This prestigious cuvée is made from a blend of 30% Chardonnay from the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs and 70% Pinot Noir from the Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims. To this blend is added 12% Bouzy red wine, whose pre-fermentation maceration adds a fine tannic structure and notes of red and black fruit.

The bottles are matured for 12 years in the heart of the Gallo-Roman Saint-Nicaise chalk pits, allowing this vintage to open up with extraordinary energy and ageing potential.

The 2009 vintage has an elegant, brilliant, expressive pink color. Slight amber highlights underline the extreme finesse and delicacy of the bubbles.

The nose initially reveals notes of ripe red fruit, morello cherry, blood orange and vine peach, underlined by a refined mineral touch. The bouquet then opens up to greedier notes of stewed wild strawberries and candied citrus.

On the palate, the attack is extremely fruity, fine and precise. Tightly wound by brilliant chalky acidity and exquisite freshness, the palate stretches out in beautiful aromatic purity, testifying to the ardor of this Comtes de Champagne Rosé.

This Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2009 from Maison Taittinger is the champagne par excellence of the art of gastronomy, and a perfect accompaniment to pure, delicate dishes.
