Taittinger Brut Prelude Grands Crus (75cl)

A Champagne from Taittinger, blended from 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards. The Chardonnay comes from Avize, Cramant and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, while the Pinot Noir comes from Mailly, Bouzy, Ambonnay and Verzy. Each parcel is vinified separately before blending, and the wine matures for over five years on its lees. It has a luminous pale gold colour with fine, delicate bubbles. Aromas include fresh citrus, white blossoms, green apple, toasted brioche, almond and chalky minerality. The palate is precise and harmonious, with vibrant acidity, creamy texture, lemon zest, ripe pear and honeyed toast, finishing with salinity and autolytic complexity.
