Taittinger Champagne Comtes De Champagne Rose 2003 750ml

Champagne Taittinger created Comtes de Champagne Ros é with the 1966 vintage, released in 1972, as the companion cuv é e to Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs. The cuv é e is a blend of red and white wines obtained from the first pressing of grapes grown in the villages of the Champagne region most highly-rated for Pinot Noir grapes, and predominantly from the villages of Bouzy and Ambonnay, where Champagne Taittinger`s holdings assure the supply of fruit of the highest quality from year to year. Taittinger`s extensive vineyard properties, totaling 600 acres in several of Champagne`s most highly-rated vineyards, are third in importance among those of the great champagne houses, allowing the firm to rely primarily on its own grapes for the production of its portfolio of cuv é es.
