Taittinger Brut Réserve is made from 40 % Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier, using perfectly matured grapes harvested from over 35 different vineyards. The blend ages for a minimum of 3 years before release, has around 20% of reserve wines and dosage of 10gr/l. This subtle blend results in a light, elegant and balanced champagne. Tasting Note: The brilliant body is golden yellow in colour. The bubbles are fine, while the foam is discreet yet lingering. The nose, very open and expressive, delivers aromas of fruit and brioche. it also gives off the fragrance of peach, white flowers (hawthorn, acacia) and vanilla pod. The entry onto the palate is lively, fresh and in total harmony. This is a delicate wine with flavours of fresh fruit and honey. Taittinger Brut Réserve, which acquires its maturity during three and four years ageing in the cellar, offers excellent aromatic potential. ---------------------------------- Region: Reims Variety: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier Rating: James Suckling 92
