Description
What kind of wine it is
Taittinger Champagne Prestige Rosé Brut is a refined expression of Champagne, created from a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Crafted using the Traditional Method, it boasts a salmon pink hue and a fine, persistent mousse. On the palate, it is vibrant, perfectly balanced between fresh citrus acidity and a velvety smoothness. It reveals clear aromas of wild raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant, supported by biscuity and buttery notes in a long, harmonious finish.
Where it comes from
This wine is born from the enhancement of the terroirs of the Montagne de Reims and the commune of Les Riceys, from which the Pinot Noir grapes vinified as red wine, essential for structure, are sourced. The winery's stylistic hallmark is expressed in the elegance of the glass, where Chardonnay plays a central role in providing finesse. This interpretation of the Champagne designation offers an enveloping sip, led by a clear youthful freshness.
How it is produced
Production follows the Méthode Champenoise with traditional secondary fermentation in the bottle. Its identity comes from a rosé d’assemblage, a technique that incorporates a portion of still Pinot Noir into the blend. To enrich the organoleptic profile, the cuvée matures for a long time, undergoing a careful passage in barrels before subsequent ageing in the bottle, stages necessary to best integrate the bubbles and prolong the persistence of the flavour.
History and Curiosities
The Prestige Rosé Brut by Taittinger is an icon of the renowned Maison, produced in the Champagne region following the traditional method. This blended rosé includes 15% Pinot Noir vinified as a red wine, sourced from the Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys. The extended maturation in the cellar gives the wine a velvety and elegant structure, while also enhancing its vibrant freshness. This award-winning Champagne AOC captivates the palate with its intense fruity profile and youthful charm.
