Appearance |
The Champagne Taittinger Millésimé Brut has a straw yellow colour with some golden tinges. |
Nose |
Delicate, smooth and refined, this blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir suggests aromas of peach, shaddock and apple, alongside remembrances of red berries, tea leaves, menthol, pastry and dry fruit. |
Palate |
Lively and palate-caressing, this Vintage Champagne from the legendary Maison Taittinger is both sophisticated and exceedingly drinkable. Quince jelly, English custard, aromatic herbs, citrus, balsam, kirsch and garrigue. Long, linear, sexy finish. |
Our personal opinion |
Versatile, elegant and fresh, the Champagne Taittinger Brut Millésimé 2016 is a very good Champagne with some ageing potential. |
