In the glass, the bubbles dance upwards like little pink stars, reminding that the magic of a signature champagne cuts across the seasons and transcends gender boundaries. Maison Taittinger’s Prestige Rosé is no exception. A refined companion for any time of year, it is free from stereotypes that see “pink” wines as a product with a feminine, summertime soul.
Taittinger Prestige Rosé for All Season
Prestige Rosé’s balance between freshness and intensity, its fruity aromas and lively bubbles make it appealing to everyone as an aperitif through to after- dinner drinks. It is a symbol of occasions that are no longer dictated by constraints, but by the desire to enjoy the highest quality with every sip. In addition, compared to traditional champagnes, it is served at a slightly higher temperature to exalt its bouquet and aromatic complexity, making it a special choice even in colder months.
The Value in Every Glass
From the new Taittinger cellars – which recently underwent an extensive architectural renovation that has enhanced the spaces – Prestige Rosé ages in ideal conditions to develop its distinctive character, confirming the Maison’s ability to create champagne that tells stories of excellence with every glass. Distinguished by its intense colour, Taittinger Prestige Rosé matures in this modern temple but with an age-old heart.
Rosé Champagne in Ancient Cellars
A blended rosé with the best Pinot Noirs from Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys added to the final assemblage, it is a vibrant cuvée thanks to the high proportion of Chardonnay (30 per cent), giving the qualities of elegance and delicacy that characterise Taittinger’s champagnes.
This refinement and style can also be found in the Maison’s new look, which forms the backdrop to the ancient cellars dating back to the 3rd century CE, on the site of Saint-Nicaise which was declared UNESCO World Heritage in 2015. Here, accompanied by an increasingly contemporary vision of rosé champagne, Taittinger opens up new perspectives for bubbly lovers, inviting them to explore this cuvée’s potential at any moment, as a new page in the Maison’s history.
