Taittinger Folies de la Marquetterie N.V., 750ml

Claude Taittinger wanted to pay tribute to the ‘Château de la Marquetterie’, where the story of the Champagne House started. He came up with a wine that was created from the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines growing on the hillsides around the house.
Folies de la Marquetterie is blend of 45% Chardonnay and 55% Pinot Noir, sourced exclusively from the Taittinger vineyards. Each plot is vinified separately, while some crus are aged in oak barrels. Finally, five years of ageing in bottles ensures the wine’s perfect balance. Dosage 9g/l

Tasting Note:

Deep yellow in colour with golden highlights. The bubbles are fine and delicate. The intense, highly fruity bouquet leads onto peach and apricot jam aromas with subtle hints of toasted brioche and vanilla. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied, smooth and fruity with dominant peach flavours. Finish delivers lightly woody notes.
