Taittinger Prestige Rose Champagne - 6 X 75cl CASE DEAL

 

Tasting Notes:

Delicate salmon pink in colour, shimmering and intense. The bubbles are fine and the mousse persistent. The nose, satisfyingly intense, is both fresh and young. It gives off aromas of red fruit (freshly crushed wild raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant).

On the palate, this is a velvety wine of fine balance and body - a subtle wine with flavours of fresh fruit.

Overall, the Taittinger Brut Prestige Rose displays charm and a subtle harmony of flavours.

This gives the Prestige Rosé its distinctive salmon pink colour. The wine is aged for 3 years. The dosage is the same as the non-vintage.
