Taittinger Champagne Prestige Rose

Vinous 90 points - (50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier; 9 g/l dosage; L3374SV05900): Light orange-pink. Cherry, orange zest and fresh rose aromas show very good clarity and energy. Sappy red fruit flavors display a spicy quality, picking up energy and a floral nuance with air. Concentrated, vibrant and precise, finishing on a zesty mineral note, with lingering spiciness and firm grip..Josh Raynolds, January/2015

Wine Advocate 91 points - The latest release of Taittinger’s NV Brut Prestige Rose is showing very well, revealing inviting aromas of red berries, plums, orange zest, crisp orchard fruit and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy but incisive, this bottling is based on the Brut Reserve, yet the addition of still red wine-much of which is produced in house-imparts structuring phenolics that complement the wine’s generous core of fruit to great effect. Readers should not that this cuvee’s clear glass makes it vulnerable to light strike, so it’s especially important to buy properly stored bottles..September/2020

James Suckling 91 points - Orange zest, peaches and grilled nectarines on the nose. The palate delivers a gently spicy kick, with more strawberry and raspberry. A real riot of fruits. Drink now..October/2017

Decanter 90 points - Expressive forest berry and sweet spice aromas give way to a rich, powerful and grippy palate that shows flavours of plums, forest floor and black berries..May/2017
