    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    The 2012 is an unabashed rosé Champagne, brimming with ripe red fruit, a deep colour and considerable weight. This is certainly not a Blanc dressed as a Rosé, it is an emphatic Rosé, in all the right ways. Just the right side of vinous, it delivers detailed, lacy, mineral and spice notes, but is laden with strawberry, raspberry and cherry fruit, beautifully overlaid with vanilla, cinnamon, pastry and crème patisserie.

    Evoking a superb bouquet, the remarkable 2012 Brut Comtes de Champagne Rose reveals aromas of mint, strawberries, ripe red berries, tangerine, plums, orange rind and blood orange. Full-bodied, vinous and concentrated, it has a delicately, perfectly balanced phenolic mid-palate framed by a pinpoint mousse of striking finesse and delicacy, concluding with a vibrant, vertical finish enhanced by gastronomic bitterness. A blend of 70% Pinot Noir, including 14% as red wine, and 30% Chardonnay, disgorged with a dosage of nine grams per liter, this is one of the most elegant and refined Comtes de Champagne Rose releases from Taittinger.

    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.
