A polished, vintage Champagne with fine bubbles, Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2012 opens with wild strawberry, cherry, red currant, and a hint of almond, licorice, and chalk.
The palate is rich and structured, but stays very precise, with a satiny texture and brisk acidity that keeps the fruit taut. It feels more luxurious than showy, with a long, mineral finish and enough depth to age further. In style, it can bring to mind a more delicate, rosé-leaning take on great red-fruited prestige cuvées rather than a broad, opulent rosé.
Serve it with lobster, veal, or roast quail.
