✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Comtes de Champagne Rosé is a legendary prestige cuvée produced only in exceptional vintage years, representing the pinnacle of Taittinger's art. First created with the 1966 vintage, this rare rosé pays homage to the Counts of Champagne, particularly Thibaud IV, who according to legend brought back the ancestral vines of Chardonnay from the Crusades. Crafted using grapes exclusively sourced from Grand Cru vineyards, the blend marries the elegance of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs with the structure of Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims. A defining feature of its exquisite salmon-pink hue and complex red-fruit profile is the addition of approximately 12% to 15% of still red Pinot Noir from the famous Grand Cru of Bouzy. The wine undergoes a slow, majestic maturation of up to a decade in the cool, silent depths of the house's UNESCO-listed Gallo-Roman chalk crayères, developing an extraordinary complexity, silky texture, and a delicate bead of bubbles that whispers of its noble heritage.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Champagne Taittinger trækker sine rødder tilbage til 1734, hvor det oprindelige champagnehus blev grundlagt af Jacques Fourneaux, før det i 1932 fik sin moderne identitet under Pierre Taittingers visionære ledelse. Det familiedrevne hus har i dag hovedsæde i Reims i hjertet af Champagne, og her modner de fineste cuvéer dybt nede i de UNESCO-fredede, gallo-romerske kridtkældre under det historiske Saint-Nicaise-kloster. Taittinger er særligt kendt for sit store fokus på Chardonnay-druen, som tilfører husets champagner en enestående elegance, rank mineralitet og delikate aromatiske nuancer. Kronen på værket er den ikoniske Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs – en absolut reference-årgangschampagne, der udelukkende skabes på druer fra de bedste Grand Cru-marker i Côte des Blancs.
