TAITTINGER, COMTES DE CHAMPAGNE ROSÉ 2013 A ‘STRONG BUY’ INVESTMENT OPTION I am delighted to offer the latest release of the sought after rosé production of Taittinger’s top cuvée, Comtes de Champagne 2013, their joint highest scored rosé on release ever. This is a STRONG BUY recommendation.
3x75cl - £420 3x150cl - £870 in bond The global demand for vintage rosé champagne set against generally tiny quantities of back vintages makes this subset of the vintage champagne market perhaps one of the most appealing and built for medium to long term gain. Comtes Rosé is made from 30% Chardonnay Grands Crus from the prestigious Côte des Blancs region and 70% Pinot Noir from the Grands Crus from the Montagne de Reims region. The Comtes de Champagne Rosé owes the secret of its uniqueness to the 15% of still red wine which is added to the blend. It is the Champagne House’s most rare cuvée. The 2013 is the joint highest ever scored rosé from Taittinger upon release, and one of the higest scoring champagnes of all time. Priced at £420 per 3 bottles, it displays ‘fair value’ according to Liv-Ex, falling beneath the regression line, and is substantially cheaper than much poorer scoring vintages like the 2002 & 2004. Taittinger should be applauded for pricing very fairly for such a high-scoring vintage. Writing for Vinous, Antonio Galloni awarded 97 points: “The 2013 Comtes de Champagne Rosé is a gorgeous, exotic wine. Sweet dried cherry, kirsch, tobacco, rose petal, cedar and mint weave across the palate in a sumptuous, racy Rosé that delivers on all fronts. This fruit was picked during the last October harvest in Champagne, except for some small picks in 2021 and 2024. The 2013 is so expressive today. It offers a compelling mix of fruit density, complexity and dynamic energy. Sublime”.
