  • Tasting Notes

    Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2011 is a captivating expression of elegance and finesse. Its brilliant, enveloping color delights the senses with a golden hue enhanced by subtle red reflections.

    The nose is dense and rich, seductive with remarkably precise iodine notes. On aeration, the bouquet unfolds to reveal a symphony of fruity aromas: black fruit, cherry, but also delicate floral notes of acacia flower. Sublime nuances of gingerbread, mandarin peel, mint and licorice combine harmoniously with refreshing scents of sweet spices, such as turmeric and saffron.

    On the palate, the champagne offers a subtly fruity, delicate attack, leading to a full-bodied experience supported by silky tannins. The minerality inherent in the Chardonnay grape brings a subtle combination of aromatic finesse, freshness and a delicious expression of fruitiness.

    Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2011 is a testament to Taittinger's exceptional expertise, offering a harmonious, sophisticated tasting experience that lingers on the palate with every sip.

  • Vinification and Aging

    Pinot Noir (60%) from the Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims. Chardonnay (40%) from the most prestigious terroirs of the Côte de Blancs. This blend also includes 14% Pinot de Bouzy, vinified in red with a long pre-fermentation maceration, giving this cuvée a remarkable tannic structure releasing scents of red and black fruits.

  • Terroir

    Taittinger Comtes de Champagne cuvées embody the quintessential style of the House. Whether Blanc de Blancs or, in exceptional years, Rosé, these cuvées stand out as distinct and complete creations.
