2009 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rose

Other Reviews....
The 2009 Brut Comtes de Champagne Rosé is a rich, gourmand rendition of this cuvée, bursting with aromas of sweet red plums, buttery pastry, tangerine and baking spices. Full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a broad attack and a layered, enveloping mid-palate that's girdled by ripe acids, it already offers demonstrative drinking. This has turned out brilliantly. Drink 2022-2040.

The 2009 Rosé Comtes de Champagne is one of the very finest recent editions I can recall. The intensity of both the Pinot and the vintage comes through loud and clear in a vinous, resonant Comtes Rosé that is engaging right out of the gate. Dark red berry fruit, spice, crushed flowers and blood orange are some of the many notes that meld together seamlessly. The 2009 is a truly special Champagne, but it is also very much on the exuberant side of things. All that said, I absolutely loved it. Drink 2022-2037.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous

A beautiful color of bronze and orange with some pink at the end. Aromas of dried strawberry and orange peel with orange blossom and other flowers. Medium to full body with a round, creamy texture, very fine bubbles and a lovely, long finish. Plenty of subtle pie-crust and biscuit flavors at the end. Yet it remains so complex. Very vinous. Drink or hold.

With its compelling notes of black cherry, citrus including grapefruit, spice and pastry, this has an alluring, even bewitching bouquet of striking complexity. The mouthfeel is just as captivating with its seductive, fleshy texture sustained by a dense yet perfectly balanced structure. The saline finish is sumptuous. This is a rosé Champagne that should age beautifully. Drink 2023-2035.
