TaittingerMillesime Brut Vintage Champagne.
About this product
A Champagne drinkers' Champagne. Freshness and vivacity with a delicate bead and complex fruit flavours. A perfectly integrated acidity suggests that it will age very well. Great as an aperitif, but with enough body to handle almost all food pairings.

True to the crystalline purity and lemon juice freshness of this outstanding season, this is a focused and energetic release for Taittinger, evenly synergising the lemon juice and strawberry fruit of this enduring vintage with the toasted brioche complexity of six years ageing on yeast lees. This rounds out the incisive acid line of 2008, making it more approachable at this age than many from this long-lived season. Dosage is well balanced and it finishes long and focused.

Chardonnay of elegance and minerality takes the lead here, producing a fine, pure and pristine style, even in a year as exuberant as 2004. Subtle lemon fruit and fine minerality speak of Taittinger''s skill with chardonnay, while pinot noir provides body and balance.
