France, Champagne | Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Taittinger Prestige Rosé immediately stands out with its shimmering and intense color. The assembly of a rosé Champagne is delicate and costly.

The high proportion of Chardonnay (30%) rounds off the blend and gives Taittinger Prestige Rosé the fine elegance typical of Champagne Taittinger.
