TAITTINGER CHAMPAGNE BRUT PRESTIGE ROSÉ NV

Winery notes (NV)
"Taittinger Prestige Rosé immediately stands out for its intense, shimmering hue whose secret lies in the fact that it is a blend, which is more complex and costly to produce. A quantity of still red wine (15%) produced from the best Pinot Noirs from Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys is in fact added to the final blend, to give this cuvée its unmistakable colour and vibrant intensity on the palate. The high proportion of Chardonnay (30%) that completes the blend brings the elegance and delicacy that underpin Taittinger’s signature style.

The intense and brilliant body is bright pink in colour. The bubbles are fine, and the mousse persistent. The full nose, wonderfully expressive, is both fresh and young. It gives off aromas of red fruits (freshly crushed wild raspberry, cherry, blackcurrant). On the palate, this wine strikes a fine balance of a velvet texture and full body taste. The flavours are reminiscent of fresh, crisp red fruits. The palate can be summed up in four words: lively, fruity, fresh and elegant, as only a rosé blend can be."

4 Stars Cuisine Champagne Tasting, November 2024 (NV)
"A mid copper-pink glittering in the glass with restrained aromas of grilled nuts, strawberries and chocolate on the nose and through onto the palate. The palate is well weighted and beautifully balanced with a long, dry and refreshing finish."

91/100 Wine Spectator (NV)
"This mouthwatering rosé shows lovely harmony and a fine, chalky texture, with appealing flavors of raspberry preserves, toast and candied kumquat. Offers an elegant, smoke-tinged finish."

91/100 James Suckling (NV)
"With a darker colour, this is more assertive in the Taittinger way. It has plenty of rich berry fruits, some background biscuits and spices and loads of flesh on the palate. The handy depth, strawberry and wild-cherry flavours and phenolics are all polished and really neatly balanced"
