Prestige Rosé

Taittinger Prestige Rosé pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it versatile for different occasions. It is excellent as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with fruit desserts such as fruit tart, fruit salad, and red fruit crumble. It also complements light, fresh dishes like sushi, sashimi, and mild cheeses.

The grapes for Taittinger Prestige Rosé come from the Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys regions in Champagne. The vineyards include a mix of grand cru and premier cru sites, contributing to the high quality of the fruit. The blend is enhanced with 15% still red wine made from the best Pinot Noirs, adding depth and color to the cuvée.

This champagne undergoes a minimum of 18 months of ageing, which helps to develop its complexity and maintain its fresh, fruity character.

The production process involves traditional Champagne methods, including both primary and secondary fermentation in the bottle. A significant proportion of Chardonnay (30%) is used, adding elegance and delicacy to the blend. The wine is aged on lees for an extended period to develop complexity and a refined mousse.

Champagne Taittinger was established in 1931 by Pierre Taittinger on the foundations of Forest-Forneaux itself established in 1734 and the third-oldest wine producing house of Champagne. Taittinger is today proprietor of approximately 600 acres of vines among which are included parcels in the one hundred - percent rated villages of Cramant and Avize in the Cote des Blancs; and Bouzy Mailly Ambonnay and Verzenay in the Montagne de Reims. The Taittinger Estate is one of the three most extensive in the Champagne district and the firm's major holdings in Chardonnay vineyards are the physical expression of the Taittinger philosophy and style.
