    Overview

    Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2009


    This 2009 vintage is cloaked in an elegantly coloured robe of vivid pink. Some light amber hues highlight the extreme finesse and delicacy of the effervescence.

    On the nose, there are invigorating notes of ripe red fruit in their finest aromatic expressions, lending the wine a real energy. Notes of Morello cherry, blood orange and vineyard peach, underscored with a hint of minerality, bring mesmerising elegance.

    This is followed by more gourmand notes of wild strawberry compote and candied citrus fruit. On the palate, the incredibly fruity, fine and precise attack gives way to the perception of a fleshy tannic structure, revealing the full power of the limestone Grand Crus terroirs from which it heralds. Held taut by a superb chalky acidity and exquisite freshness, the palate extends in beautiful, aromatic purity to bear witness to the intensity expressed in this Comtes de Champagne Rosé.

    The Comtes de Champagne Rosé takes time to fully evolve before reaching its peak and benefits from a slow maturation process to guarantee the wine's optimal development. 

    Before being exposed to light, Comtes Champagne Rosé 2009 will have undergone more than 12 years of ageing in the heart of the Saint-Nicaise chalk cellars dating from Gallo-Roman times. A maturation that allows this cuvee to reveal itself to us with the most balanced expression and at its own pace.

    Champagne of gastronomic art par excellence. An exceptional apéritif, it will act as the perfect accompaniment to fresh, delicate and balanced dishes.

    The Year 2009:
    The 2009 vintage was the perfect expression of a continental climate in Champagne.

    Thanks to a very cold, dry winter succeeded by a delightfully sun-filled summer and next to no rainfall over the course of August and September; development of the vines followed a traditional course, with grapes in an excellent state of health and at optimum ripeness. 
    This 2009 vintage presents an accomplished and brilliant Comtes de Champagne Rosé, with a signature that is both sun-drenched and light at the same time. Unique and produced from the finest limestone terroirs in Champagne.

    Technical Information:
    The Comtes de Champagne Rosé comprises 30% Chardonnay Grands Crus from the most prestigious Côte des Blancs terroirs, combined with 70% Pinot Noir Grands Crus sourced from the Montagne de Reims. 

    The blend is enhanced with 12% red wine from Bouzy Pinots, whose somewhat long pre-fermentation maceration ensures a superb tannic structure with fruit-forward aromas of red and black berries.
