Tasting Note:
Pale yellow colour with bright fine bubbles. On the nose it is elegant and fresh and light. Slightly vegetal, it is extremely flowery and has tealeaf aromas. On the palate, this wine is initially harmonious and lively, then fruity with flavours of white peaches, kiwi and mango. On the finish it has great finesse and length.
Detailed Tasting Note:
Colour:~Pale gold in colour and has a rich effervescence which forms a very dense necklace of mousse. Nose: It has a very fine nose and a good intensity of fragrance. The initial perfumes of white flowers give way to a fruity dominance with a subtle mineral touch. The scent of citrus fruits can also be discerned, with sugared grapefruit and a hint of baked crusty bread. Palate: The first sip is sharp, delicate and complex, with the taste of fresh citrus fruit. It is well-rounded, full and richly constituted with an attractive effervescence.The finish is long and fresh.
In conclusion, it is a champagne of extreme freshness, fine balance, keen intensity and consummate aromatic harmony.
Vinification Note:
Taittinger Brut Millésimé is composed of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay grapes are mostly from the grands crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Pinot Noir grapes are from the crus of the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne. These origins combined with the exclusive use of first pressing juices are necessary elements for great aromatic finesse and a long storage time.
Detailed Vinification Note:
Taittinger only makes a vintage champagne when the harvest has been of such outstanding quality that it deserves to be fully vinified. The wine is then only marketed after several years of ageing in the cellars, allowing the aromas to mature slowly and the length and complexity of the wine to develop.
