Taittinger Prelude Grands Crus Brut N.V., 750ml

Prélude Grands Crus Cuvée is composed of Chardonnay 50% and Pinot Noir 50% that Taittinger has selected exclusively from the top Grands Crus vineyards. Produced only using first press wines, this rare blend offers the finesse and structure that a great wine needs if it to be laid down for any length of time. Matured for 5 years in the cellar before release. Dosage 9g/l.

Tasting Note:
Pale yellow with silver highlights. The bubbles are fine and form a persistent and delicately creamy ring of foam.The wine is subtle and fresh on the nose. The initial mineral aromas quickly give way to green and then floral notes with the fragrance of elder flowers and spicy cinnamon undertones.The entry onto the palate is clean and lively, dominated by very exceedingly fresh citrus notes.
These shifts into much fuller, rounder and silkier flavors where white peaches in syrup  predominate. The finish is rich, lingering and bursting with flavor.
