Notes | |||
"Blended from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, this is a succulently fruity, supple and aromatic Champagne with fine bubbles and a crisp, refreshing finish of extended length. "Taittinger Cuvée Prestige Rosé is intense cherry-pink in color with extremely fine, persistent pinpoint bubbles rising in delicate strands to the surface of the wine. Its classic, aromatic Pinot fragrance of red raspberries and strawberries is offset by elegant, subtle floral and earth nuances. On the palate, the ripe, full berry flavors are vibrant yet refined, delicately balanced by a fresh acidity which carries into a crisp, refreshing finish of persistent length." -winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"A smoky toast note bolsters flavors of black cherry and currant, candied orange peel and spice in this rich, creamy, harmonious rosé, which has firm structure, but its refined texture and mouthwatering acidity combine to form an overall elegant impression." —Wine Spectator |
