Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rose Brut 2011, 750ml

The Rosé is made of 30% Chardonnay Grands Crus from the most prestigious Côte des Blancs terroirs combined with 70% Pinot Noir sourced from the Montagne de Reims Grands Crus of which 15% is enhanced with red wine from Bouzy Pinots. Matured for 12 years on its lees before release. Dosage 9g/l.

Tasting Note:

The bubbles are extremely fine. On the nose, aromas of cherry and gingerbread mingle with hints of licorice. On the palate, the attack is fruity and precise, gradually giving way to a silky, solar structure. This is a champagne of great aromatic finesse, combining the iodized character of the Chardonnays and the fullness of the fruit of the Pinots Noirs.
