TASTING NOTES

A deep salmon robe with coppery glints, threaded with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose opens on Montmorency cherry, wild strawberry, vineyard peach and blood orange, underscored by a gentle brioche note drawn from twelve years of maturation on lees. The palate is broad and creamy, with the sun-drenched generosity characteristic of the 2009 vintage, closing on a long finish of warm spice and chalky minerality.

Terroirs

A 100% Grand Cru assemblage: 70% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims (of which 12% is vinified as red wine from Bouzy to enrich the tannic structure) and 30% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. Aged for over twelve years on lees in the Gallo-Roman chalk cellars of Saint-Nicaise in Reims.

Taittinger

About this house

Founded in 1734, Champagne Taittinger is one of the rare great Champagne houses to remain family-owned. With 288 hectares of vineyards — a significant proportion of which are classified as Grands and Premiers Crus — it brings to its assemblages a floral, airy signature carried by Chardonnay, the house's favoured cépage.

The Comtes de Champagne, Taittinger's absolute prestige cuvée, is produced only in exceptional years. The 2009 Rosé, born of a remarkable summer in Champagne, embodies the house's dual nature: the elegance inherited from the Côte des Blancs Chardonnay and the fruit-driven depth of Montagne de Reims Pinot Noir. More than twelve years of cellaring have sculpted a complexity rarely achieved in the region.
