Description
What kind of wine it is
Taittinger Prestige Cuvée Brut Champagne is a refined Traditional Method sparkling wine with a Brut dosage. Crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, it displays a straw yellow colour with golden highlights and a very persistent perlage. On the nose, it is fresh and mineral, with hints of white flowers, ripe fruit and subtle notes of flint. On the palate, a creamy mousse stands out, with notes of almond and brioche, balanced by excellent acidity that leads to an extremely clean finish. It is ideal for pairing with fish dishes, sushi and delicate cheeses.
Where it comes from
Originating from the renowned Champagne region, this wine has its roots in the Montagne de Reims area. Taittinger creates this cuvée by blending grapes from around fifty different crus, a technique that ensures balance and aromatic maturity. The marked presence of Chardonnay in the blend guarantees finesse, while Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier provide structure. This careful selection enhances the terroir of origin, offering a lively and precise wine, perfect for elegant toasts and grand convivial occasions.
How it is produced
The production of this wine strictly follows the Traditional Method, with a slow secondary fermentation in the bottle. Once the blend is completed, the wine rests for at least three years in historic cellars. This prolonged ageing on the lees is essential to enrich its flavour profile and develop elegant aromas of pastry and honey. At disgorgement, the Brut dosage preserves the innate mineral freshness of the fruit, resulting in a harmonious, vibrant sip with excellent ageing potential over time.
History and Curiosities
The Cuvée Prestige Brut by Taittinger embodies the excellence of the Maison founded in Reims in 1932. This elegant wine is born from the meticulous blending of fifty crus and stands out for an unusual proportion of Chardonnay which ensures its pure refinement. Resting for at least three years in the historic cellars, this Traditional Method Champagne develops enveloping notes of brioche and white fruits, enhanced by an extremely fine and persistent perlage. Highly acclaimed by critics, it offers a lively and creamy sip, ideal for adding a touch of class to celebrations and exclusive toasts.
