Tasting note

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.

Wine-food combination

Taittinger Prestige Rosé can be enjoyed both early on and at the end of an evening. Deliciously fragranced for an aperitif, it is also a subtle accompaniment to fruit desserts, including fruit tart, fruit salad and red fruit crumble.

Vinification

The hallmark of our Taittinger Champagne is the high percentage of Chardonnay we use, which can be anything for 40% in the Brut Reserve to 100% in the prestigious Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs

Soil

Champagne is a blended wine. So, the terroirs, grape varieties and soils are different, but there is a strong presence of chalk on limestone soils, which can also be clayey.
