Taittinger Comtes Rosé 2011
The 2011 vintage is cloaked in a beautifully colored robe of vivid pink gold. The shimmering red hues highlight the finesse and delicacy of the effervescence. The nose releases sweet notes of gingerbread, black fruits, cherry and acacia flowers intermingled with aromas of tangerine peel and slight touches of mint, licorice and sweet spices (turmeric, saffron) to add energy to this wine. On the palate, the delicately fruity, fine, and precise attack gives way to a silky and radiant tannic structure. This extraordinary vintage reflects the optimum ripeness of the Chardonnay, with great aromatic finesse, and a unique strength of character that is fresh with an abundance of fruit. Winemaker's Notes
94 Points - Wine Spectator
A chalky rose Champagne, with raw silk–like texture, this leads with hints of smoke, oyster shell and dried thyme, followed by a savory streak that underscores the palate's dried raspberry, blood orange peel and blanched almond flavors. Fresh and focused through to the lightly spiced finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2030.
