Taittinger only produces a vintage Champagne when the harvest is of exceptional quality. Brut Millésimé 2016 comprises only wines from the first press with a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. The Grands Crus make up a significant proportion at 70% while the other selected villages are all classified as Premiers Crus. A 5-year long ageing period in the cellars unlocks its full potential. Bottled at 12.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)
Nose: Floral aromas of hawthorn and pleasant notes of pear, kumquat, verbena, gingerbread and white flowers, underpinned by a subtle minty note.
Palate: On the palate, it releases superb energy; a fresh and dynamic attack with floral tones such as honeysuckle combined with delightful notes of peach and citrus fruits.
Finish: The finish is subtle with lovely long-lasting aromas on top of pleasingly bitter orange peel.
Founded in 1734 and owning 280 hectares of vineyards in Champagne, France, Champagne Taittinger is one of the few remaining family-owned and operated Champagne Houses.
