The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from several crus in the Marne and l'Aube. The Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes come from Ambonnay, Bouzy and Les Riceys, all renowned for their elegance and quality. All Taittinger’s vineyards are managed under the watchful eye of Christelle Rinvelle, Champagne Taittinger’s highly regarded vineyard manager. Taittinger manage their own vineyards with sustainability at the heart of every decision, meticulously cultivating every individual vine. They are HVE certified and accredited to Viticulture Durable En Champagne.

The Prestige Rosé was vinified using l'addition method to ensure consistency and quality. 85% of the fruit was vinified as a white wine; the remaining 15% was vinified as a still red wine from Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys, before being added to the white imparting the distinctive salmon pink colour. The Prestige Rosé was bottle-aged for three years in the Taittinger cellars.

Champagne Taittinger

Tattinger remains one of the few Champagne Houses to remain owned and actively managed by the family named on the label. Its origins date back to 1734 when the original house was founded by Jacques Fourneaux. The Taittinger link was established in 1931 when Pierre Taittinger, the founder of today's company acquired the House. Pierre had spent much time in the Champagne region when serving in WWI as a young cavalry officer. Stationed at the Château de la Marquetterie, he fell in love with this remarkable property and its vineyards and eventually purchased the company. Today, the Reims based House is headed up by Pierre's grandson, Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and his son, Clovis and daughter Vitalie both of whom are actively involved in the day to day running of this thriving family Champagne House. The hallmark of the Taittinger Champagnes is the high percentage of Chardonnay used in their cuvées, which can be anything from 40% in the Brut Réserve NV to 100% in the prestigious Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs. This Chardonnay dominance imbues the House style with elegance, delicacy and finesse.
