Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Brut Rose 2008

Taittinger is one of Champagne's most famous houses. It is known for its Chardonnay dominant cuvées, the pinnacle of which is the Blanc de Blancs prestige cuvée, Comtes de Champagne.

Review

"Offering up inviting aromas of red berries, plums, sweet spices, orange rind and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and vinous, with an ample core of fruit, lively acids and an elegant pinpoint mousse. As I wrote in 2019, Taittinger is using more Pinot Noir and opting for longer sur lattes maturation for this bottling, and the result is that Comtes Rosé is becoming a more gastronomic Champagne." - 96pts, Wine Advocate
