Taittinger Vintage Brut 2016, 1.5L

Blended from 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. Ageing in the cellars for over 5 years

Tasting Note:

There are floral aromas of hawthorn and pleasant notes of pear, kumquat, verbena, gingerbread and white flowers, underpinned by a subtle minty note. 
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. The finish is subtle with lovely long-lasting aromas on top of pleasingly bitter orange peel. There is a  charming  complementarity  between  the  elegance  of  the  chalky  soils  of  the  Côte  des  Blancs and the broader shoulders of the Pinots Noirs from the Montagne de Reims.
