Brut Prestige Rosé

Taittinger's Prestige Rosé first catches the eye with its intense, shimmering colour. It comes from assemblage: 15 per cent still red wine is added to the cuvée. This is more laborious and more expensive than other routes to rosé, but it gives the champagne colour and a lively intensity on the palate. The high share of 30 per cent Chardonnay provides a counterweight and brings the elegance and finesse that define the house style.

Expect red fruit and a fresh, finely structured wine. The rosé works as an aperitif at the start of the evening and just as well as a companion at the end, for instance with strawberries, raspberry tartlets or other fruity desserts. Serve it at 8 to 10°C in a white wine glass or a tulip glass so the aromas can develop. The bottle is supplied in its gift packaging at no extra charge.
