Description

The Prestige Rose is a particularly muscular and powerful Champagne.

A small percentage (15%) of still red wine from the finest Pinot Noir grown in the estate's Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys vineyards is added to the blend, to lend depth and structure as well as the eye-catching colour.

This is no shrinking violet. It's a Champagne characterised by strength and tannin, and in the context of these apex Champagne houses, it offers excellent value. If rosy bubbles are what you seek, Taittinger is always an excellent option.

"Taittinger uses tannins rather than sweetness to balance the mouth feel of its rosé. The result is exceedingly sophisticated, bringing a gorgeous tannin texture to a delicately stylish rosé."
- Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide)

95 points - "With the same dosage as Brut Réserve, Taittinger uses tannins rather than sweetness to balance the mouth feel of its rosé. The result is exceedingly sophisticated, bringing a gorgeous tannin texture to a delicately stylish rosé. It's fresh and young with primary rose petal aromas and a lingering, enchanting palate of soft strawberries and exquisite rose petals. A stale 2007 disgorgement had a distinctly copper hue, lacked primary fruit and finished with roast hazelnut bitterness. With such old stock still lingering in warehouses and no way to identify them (there is no indication of disgorgement date on bottles), I can only recommend against purchasing this cuvée until old stock is moved on. This a disappointing situation as fresh examples are stunning." - Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide)

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.
