Champagne Taittinger was established in 1931 by Pierre Taittinger on the foundations of Forest-Forneaux, itself established in 1734 and the third-oldest wine producing house of Champagne. The Taittinger Estate is one of the three most extensive in the Champagne district.
Their Cuvee Prestige Rose is blended from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, giving it a succulent, fruity expression with supple and fine bubbles and a crisp, refreshing finish that lingers forever.
It boasts this intense dark pink color. It’s classic Taittinger– aromatic Pinot notes of raspberries and strawberries offset by elegant, subtle floral and earth notes. On the mouthfeel it’s full and creamy with vibrant tension, and delicately balanced by a fresh acidity which carries it all the way through.

Darker color. Lots of fruit and a creamy texture with cooked apples and cherries and strawberry undertones. Medium to full-bodied. Delicious finish that is dry and fruity. Spicy. White pepper. Young strawberry at the end. Drink now.
91 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The latest release of Taittinger’s NV Brut Prestige Rosé 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 Réserve, 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 cuvée’s clear glass makes it vulnerable to light strike, so it’s especially important to buy properly stored bottles.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors.
Fresh off a huge feature in The Wall Street Journal in which they were crowned as the top Prosecco Rose in a lineup of 14, I suspect what was once our little secret will explode. James Suckling also finally got around to tasting it and gave it 91 points. I’d rate it even higher. The 2021 Bisol Jeio Brut Prosecco Rosé is remarkable, and simply put, mouth-wateringly delicious. Inviting aromas of flowers and wild strawberries, with a complex mouthfeel that sings with citrus fruits and creaminess from the tiny crisp bubbles.
This one comes from one of the most interesting wineries in all of Oregon, home to a crazy one-of-a-kind gravity flow production which has the winemaking team regularly walking up and down three flights of stairs to check on the state of things. Their Pinots are easily some of the best in Oregon, but the Thea’s Selection is the creme de la creme. It’s made from a blend of all seven 100% organic certified estate vineyards, spread across arguably the two best wine AVAs in the state, Dundee Hills and Yamhill-Carlton.
Once again dialing up fruit from 1000-1500ft in elevation in the Dundee Hills, Chad’s 2021 is juicy, laser focused and roaring out of the gates. Chad tells me that similar wines (very similar wines) off this vineyard are raising their prices up to $55/bottle from $45 this year due to 2020’s lost year. But where most people are raising prices to recoup last year’s losses, the CHAD Pinot Noir price is somehow lower. A true gift from our favorite winemaker.
