TAITTINGER CHAMPAGNE BRUT VINTAGE 2015

Winery notes (2015 Vintage)
"On the nose, the 2015 Vintage is simultaneously precise, pure and fruity. It abounds in aromatic finesse and good minerality. This lively freshness feeds into a bouquet of white flowers – orange blossom, lime flower and honeysuckle – punctuated by the aroma of fresh fruits like lime and white peach, delicately accompanied by notes of lightly toasted almonds. On the palate, the attack is full of energy, precise and focused. This rich, fruity and smooth sensation, with a hint of citrus, provides excellent balance between structure and finesse. Its almost chalky finish caresses the palate with a long and lingering saline tone.

It is the perfect confluence of terroir, year, climate and our House style. This vintage encompasses all of our terroirs’ finesse and maturity, that can only be fully appreciated upon tasting. In its youth, it expresses itself superbly on its own, and then as the years go by, its generous structure will pair equally well with delicate and refined gastronomic or culinary dishes.

The Taittinger Vintage Brut is exclusively produced from first press wines, 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."

5 Stars & Top 5 Cuisine Champagne Tasting, November 2023 (2015 Vintage)
"Pale in the glass with lovely complexity on the nose, this wine shows attractive sulphides, rich hazelnuts and cream against crisp apples and white floral aromas. The well-structured palate has a fantastic mouthfeel with lemon citrus and fresh brioche flavours. Expressive and lengthy."
