TAITTINGER, COMTES DE CHAMPAGNE ROSÉ 2011
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 2011, which should interest all with a Fine Wine investment portfolio. This is a STRONG BUY recommendation.

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.
Champagne’s growth as an asset has been mercurial over the past four years but slowed down in Q4 of last year and Q1 of 2023, driven by global inflation and brand dilution of the champagne market which is thankfully now self-correcting.
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.
Scored 94 points by The Wine Advocate, the 2011 is the joint third highest scoring Comte rosé of all time. The table below demonstrates how similar or more poorly rated vintages have appreciated handsomely since general market release in 2019. Given its release price of £575 in bond, there is plenty of room for this outstanding 2011 to appreciate, given time, and as such it comes with a strong buy recommendation for investors. We can offer a small number of cases to clients on a first come, first served basis.
