A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship:

- Grape Varieties: The 2009 Comtes de Champagne Rosé is a meticulously crafted blend of 30% Chardonnay Grands Crus from the finest Côte des Blancs terroirs and 70% Pinot Noir sourced from the Montagne de Reims Grands Crus. Enhancing this blend, 12% of the wine is made from Pinot Noir, which undergoes a lengthy pre-fermentation maceration to ensure a superb tannic structure and vibrant fruit-forward aromas of red and black berries.

- Aged to Perfection: Before it ever sees the light, this champagne spends over 12 years maturing in the historic Saint-Nicaise chalk cellars, dating back to Gallo-Roman times. This extended ageing process imbues the wine with extraordinary energy, depth, and a remarkable ageing potential, allowing it to unfold with elegance and complexity.

Tasting Notes:

- Appearance: The 2009 vintage is dressed in an elegantly coloured robe of bright salmon pink, highlighted by subtle copper reflections. The fine, creamy bubbles add to the visual allure of this exceptional cuvée.

- Nose: On the nose, this champagne is both indulgent and fresh, offering an enticing bouquet of raspberry and black cherry, followed by lightly stewed peaches and pears. Subtle scents of menthol further elevate the aromatic profile, creating a complex and inviting experience.

- Palate: The palate begins with an incredibly fine and precise attack, revealing a chiselled tannic structure that showcases the full power of the limestone Grand Crus terroirs. Supported by a superb chalky acidity and exquisite freshness, the wine extends in beautiful, aromatic purity, leaving a lingering impression of delicate salinity.

A Culinary Companion:

The Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2009 is the ideal champagne to accompany gourmet cuisine. It pairs perfectly with white meats and lobster, revealing its full potential when matched with dishes that highlight its subtle, exuberant energy. This vintage also harmonizes beautifully with certain cheeses, such as old Comté or Chaource, as well as desserts like baked pears or morello cherry tart, enhancing their flavours with its vibrant complexity.

Praise from the Experts:

Renowned wine critic Yohan Casting describes this vintage as having "notes of spices, black cherry, morello cherry, and black fruit, with a bouquet that is impressively complex and delicious. On the palate, the vinous texture, fine bubbles, depth, and complexity allow for a long, chalky, chiselled finish. This is a gastronomic Champagne rosé with great ageing potential."
