Wine Description
Taittinger Rose Champagne (Prestige Rose) immediately captivates with its intense and shimmering hue, a result of the intricate blend carefully crafted by winemaker Alexandre Ponnavoy. This remarkable cuve incorporates a portion of still red wine (15%) sourced from the finest Pinot Noirs of Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys, imparting the unmistakable color and vibrant intensity that defines this champagne. To complement the blend, a high proportion of Chardonnay (30%) is artfully added, bestowing the elegance and delicacy that exemplify Taittinger’s signature style.
This Champagne presents an intense and brilliant body with a captivating bright pink color. The fine bubbles elegantly grace the palate, offering a persistent and lively mousse. On the nose, the wine is full and wonderfully expressive, radiating freshness and youthfulness. Aromas of freshly crushed wild raspberries, cherries, and blackcurrants enchant the senses.
The palate of Taittinger Prestige Rose strikes a perfect balance between a velvety texture and a full-bodied taste. The flavors evoke a sense of freshly picked, crisp red fruits. Lively, fruity, fresh, and elegant are the four words that encapsulate this extraordinary rose blend.
Taittinger Prestige Rose is a versatile champagne that can be enjoyed both as an aperitif or as a subtle companion to fruit desserts. Its deliciously fragrant character complements dishes such as fruit tarts, fruit salads, and red fruit crumbles.
This exceptional wine has garnered critical acclaim, with James Suckling awarding it 92 points. He describes it as having a darker color and a creamy texture, with notes of cooked apples, cherries, strawberry undertones, and a delicious, dry, and fruity finish. A touch of white pepper and young strawberry complete the sensory experience.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate also awarded Taittinger Prestige Rose 91 points, praising its inviting aromas of red berries, plums, orange zest, crisp orchard fruit, and freshly baked bread. The addition of still red wine adds structure and enhances the generous fruit core. However, readers are advised to ensure proper storage due to the cuve’s clear glass.
Other accolades include 91 points from Decanter, which highlights its highly fragrant nose, multilayered and textural palate, and blend of 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 25% Pinot Meunier. Wine Spectator, Wine and Spirits, and Jeb Dunnuck all awarded the wine 90 points, commending its firmness, creamy mousse, toasty edge, and an array of flavors ranging from strawberry tart and mandarin orange peel to brioche, spice, and crushed roses.
Taittinger Prestige Rose Champagne is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the Taittinger winery, offering a remarkable sensory journey through its exquisite blend and expressive character.

Harriett Eicher –
Spectacular champagne. Beautiful pink hue, leaning towards salmon. Very aromatic, with notes of roses, violets, ripe cherry, and pronounced acidity. Good balance and medium-bodied. Long and persistent finish. Loved it.
Robert Terry –
Bold and satisfying, this rosé Champagne stands out with its defined presence. Fragrant with bread and yeasty aroma, it offers notes of strawberry, raspberry, apples, and a hint of cinnamon. Medium+ body. Worth the purchase, even at 9000 yen.
Belinda Taylor –
Full-bodied, dark pink rosé champagne with hints of red fruits and green apples. Enjoyable with a full meal, but unsure about the value for the price. Great by the glass option to try.
Jason Vasquez –
Staab House’s wine for Jeanne’s birthday is delightful. Earthy nose, crisp and medium-bodied with red currant, strawberries, chalk, flint, and a hint of chili pepper.
Tanya Burgener –
Enjoyable pink bubbles with hints of strawberry and loads of bubbles. Although not worth the higher price compared to Australian ones, they were still easy to drink and had impressive fizz even without a stopper.
Mary Richards –
One of the better big-house NV non-prestige champagnes I’ve had, and probably the best rose in that category. Mostly this shows crispness and green apple with a slight tinge of red fruit. Not perceptibly sweet but not austere either. None of the soapy/perfumey thing you get with some roses. Super versatile with food. Nice stuff.
Javier Fisher –
Vibrant orange-pink hue with a fruity, raspberry and cherry aroma. This rosé Champagne is rich and full-bodied, with a delicious blend of red berries, toast, and a balanced acidity. The finish is medium-plus. Made with 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 20% Pinot Meunier, including 15% of still red wine.
Lilliam Mason –

Dark rose color, full-bodied with wild red berries on the nose. Powerful yet elegant, thanks to the addition of 15% still red Pinot Noir wine.
Giovanni Estrada –
Porta Porta’s farewell dinner for Meowseng: Medium salmon with fair length. Flavors of lemon, rose, strawberry, menthol, bread, and wet stone. Slightly acidic.

Ritz dinner. Wife’s glass. Red berries, pleasing grip, gentle mousse, mineral notes. Nothing to dislike.

Orange-strawberry color with a noticeable mousse and tiny bubbles. Clean nose of red berry fruits and a touch of bread. Similar palate with a hint of citrus zest. Not the most remarkable champagne but suitable as a starter at a steakhouse with various apps.

Franklin Welch –
Not a fan of adding red to champagne, it doesn’t enhance the taste. It does look nice though.
Gail Colby –
This wine was a standout at Thanksgiving dinner in NYC. Perfect pairing with roast turkey and pastrami sandwiches from Katz’s Deli. Beautiful color, depth, richness. A must-have for future celebrations. 92/93.
Angelita Tanner –
Consistent brut rose with delightful rhubarb notes and perfectly dry Taittinger dosage.
Julie Southworth –
Medium salmon pink with high-toned aromas of an English garden picnic; strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, red apple, yeasty, floral. Palate falls flat, lacking complexity.
Michelle Carranza –
Enjoyable and drinkable with notes of strawberry liqueur, Turkish delight, and shortbread. Fresh attack with hints of rose petal and grip. Would prefer a longer finish.
John Smith –
Vibrant pink hue, subtle aroma, hints of strawberries. Balanced palate, fruit fading, but still enjoyable. Ready to drink now. (Aged 18 months).
Rodrigo Miles –
Vibrant hue, abundant red fruits, balanced weight. Enjoy now for its fruity essence.
Kenneth Harris –
Light pink with a copper tinge, this wine showcases a fine mousse. The aroma is light and fresh, with notes of red fruits. On the palate, it has a light body and good red fruit flavors, accompanied by a touch of tannins and acidity. The finish is medium in length but slightly harsh. While visually appealing, it does not improve with time. Notably, it includes 15% of Ambonnay and Bouzy Pinot Noir red wine.
Mark Castaneda –
A delightful rose champagne, perfect for a relaxing day on the terrace in the city.
Thomas Lepe –
Great wine, enjoyed at Perry’s Steakhouse with their famous pork chop. Full-bodied with a nice finish. Pricey at $175, but worth it for a birthday celebration!

Taittinger rose’ is a superb champagne choice. Perfectly balanced with medium body, fruit, and acidity. Ideal with seafood, cheese, or dessert.
Irene Rowley –
Balanced, not overly fruity. Lengthy and complex. Highly recommended.

Vibrant pink color. Bubbly yet refined. Aromas of red fruits and crisp flavors of red fruit and blood orange. Lively acidity and subtle toastiness. Perfect for aperitif or midnight toast. 70% pinot noir and pinot meunier, 30% chardonnay.

This wine is perfect. Balanced structure, abundant fruit. Great!
Stanley Stanton –
Vibrant pink, delightful red fruit, refreshing dryness, lingering finish. Aged for 9 months, exceptional.
Rebecca Alvarez –
Lovely and classic, with a touch of age. Not groundbreaking, but still enjoyable.
Deloris Payne –
Seemingly more meaty and powerful and in a different style than regular old Taittinger. Funny how that works at this house.
Marc Pennington –
Impressed by this pink champagne. Previous bottles were meh, but tonight it was terrific. Real grip on entry, making the strawberry fruit prettier.
Kirk Kinzer –
A powerful, vinous rosé, stored for 3-4 years. Not improved with age. Tastes like more red wine than average. Clumsy.
Anthony Johnson –
Disappointingly anonymous with less intensity. Expected more punch. (Etihad Business class)
Walter Armstrong –
Vibrant salmon color, reminiscent of strawberry juice. Intense nose of cotton candy and wild strawberries. Good acidity, structure, and mousse. Flavors of red berries, cherries, and a hint of toast. Subtle almond and vegetable notes. Decent champagne with a medium finish.

Exquisite bubbles, luscious fruit, perfect balance. Surprisingly light, no hangover.
Aaron Goode –
Delicious cherry fruit with mineral notes and a lingering bitter cherry stone finish.
Estella Shaw –
Dark and rich, this rosé champagne is a big boy. With notes of dark cherry and raspberry, it’s more vinous than most champagnes. Impressive hue and flavor.
Michelle Boyd –
Refined and elegant with deep pink-red color. Aroma of sherbet, apple, and a hint of flowers. Solid apple and lemon flavors, slightly chalky.
