Taittinger Prestige Champagne Rosé NV (France) (Single bottle)

Description

• Fresh crushed raspberry
• Cherry
• Fine perlage
• Fresh & elegant

The intense and brilliant body is bright pink in colour, with beautiful fine bubbles and a persistant mousse. The full nose, wonderfully expressive, is both fresh and young. It gives off aromas of freshly crushed wild raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant. On the palate, this wine strikes a fine balance of velvety and full-bodied. 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.

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.

A quantity of still red wine (15%) produced from the best Pinot Noir 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.
