Taittinger Vintage
Champagne only produced in exceptional harvests with slow maturation for greater complexity.
Taittinger VintageChampagne Taittinger only produces a vintage cuvée when they achieve an exceptional harvest, a requirement that also includes several years of aging in the cellar. This time ensures a slow maturation of aromas and the development of the firmness and complexity of the wine. In Champagne, it is tradition to define vintage champagne as the champagne for connoisseurs.Taittinger Brut Vintage is composed only of first press wines, with an equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In this wine, the Grands Crus of Champagne play a major role, making up 70% of the composition, while the rest have all been classified as Premier Crus.
Aging
Aging in the cellar for 5 years enhances its fullness. On the nose, it is both precise, pure, and fruity. It shows incredible aromatic subtlety and good minerality. This lively freshness translates into a bouquet of white flowers (orange blossom, linden, and honeysuckle) sprinkled with aromas of fresh fruits (lemon, ripe pear) delicately accompanied by notes of lightly toasted almond. On the palate, the attack is energetic, precise, and detailed. This intense, sweet, and fruity sensation with a citrus touch provides an excellent balance between structure and delicacy. The almost chalky finish caresses the palate with a delicious salty tone, long and persistent. It is the perfect result of a terroir, a vintage, a climate, and the house's own style. When tasting this vintage, you will appreciate the full expression, delicacy, and maturity of the terroirs.In its youthful version, it stands out on its own and, over the years, will reveal its generous structure when paired with delicate gastronomic and culinary creations.
