Vinous Tasting Note

The 2012 Comtes de Champagne Rosé is s total stunner. What a knockout! It is easily one of the finest Comtes Rosés I have tasted in recent years. Rich and enveloping, with tremendous depth, the 2012 has it all. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, white pepper, mint and slate infuse the palate with striking depth and nuance. The 2012 finishes with a classic sense of austerity. I admire its tension and overall resonance. The 2012 is a heady, exotic Champagne. I would be thrilled to own it. The blend is 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, with 14% still red Pinot. Dosage is 9 grams per liter.

About the Producer

About the Producer

The Champagne Taittinger estate is anchored in the heart of the Champagne region, not far from historic sites where winemaking was already a centuries-old tradition. At the beginning of the 20th century, Pierre Taittinger, captivated by the terroir, founded the house with his brother-in-law. Since then, the Taittinger family has been dedicated to defining the style of Champagne Taittinger wines, prioritizing the elegance and finesse of Chardonnay. Today, Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger, along with his children Vitalie and Clovis, perpetuates this family legacy. Champagne Taittinger cuvées are distinguished by their beautiful aromatic richness, harmonious vinosity, and delicate floral notes, which evolve into nuances of hazelnut and brioche. The house has successfully navigated the ages while maintaining its independence. Among the iconic cuvées, one finds the Taittinger Brut Réserve, a classic and balanced expression of the house style. The Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut, the true flagship of the estate, embodies the excellence and purity of Chardonnay. Among the most sought-after cuvées are the Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut, Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Brut Rosé, and Taittinger Brut Réserve—essential benchmarks for understanding the identity of the house.
