Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rosé

This isn’t any old Champagne, this Rose is a gorgeous representation of sparkling wine at its absolute finest, this is what we deserve on a Friday.

ORIGIN

Champagne, France

Grapes

70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

2007 is a fully matured vintage. Its superb maturity tantalizes all the senses with a deep pink robe highlighted with glints of copper, an extremely delicate persistent effervescence, a nose of crushed strawberries, lime and liquorice underlined by a hint of roast coffee and cacao.

Food Match

A suitable accompaniment to light cured meats, veal, pork dishes and ribs as well as fruit salad and berry desserts.
