Taittinger Comtes De Champagne Rose' 2008 is a brut rose' Champagne produced from 30% chardonnay and 70% pinot noir. Production is entirely from grands crus vineyards.
Nose: The nose is simultaneously indulgent and fresh, evoking aromas of raspberry, black cherry, then lightly stewed peaches and pears, all of which is further elevated by subtle scents of menthol.
Palate: On the palate, the incredibly fine, precise attack gives way to the perception of a chiselled tannic structure, that reveals the full power of the limestone Grand Crus terroirs from which it heralds. Held taught by a superb chalky acidity and exquisite freshness, the palate extends in beautiful, aromatic purity to leave a lingering impression of delicate salinity.
