The Taittinger Champagne Millésimé Brut 2016, with an alcohol content of 12.5% vol., comes in a 0.75-litre bottle with a gift box and is an elegant, single-vintage Champagne that impressively reflects the stylistic finesse and aromatic precision of the House of Taittinger. The 2016 vintage is one of Champagne’s most characterful millésimes, characterised by a cool growing season and excellent ripeness of the grapes. The cuvée is classically composed of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sourced exclusively from selected Lager, which lend the wine its harmonious balance of finesse, structure and depth.

Through careful vinification and an extended ageing period in the famous chalk cellars of Reims, the 2016 Millésimé develops its precise, multi-layered aromas and striking elegance. The high proportion of Chardonnay ensures freshness and finesse, whilst Pinot Noir contributes structure, ripe fruit and depth. This champagne is an expressive vintage wine with distinct minerality, fine perlage and long-lasting complexity – a worthy representative of the prestigious House of Taittinger.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the 2016 Millésimé appears pale gold in colour with a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, aromas of citrus fruits, white flowers, fresh brioche, apple, peach and subtle minerality unfold. On the palate, the champagne is crisp, elegant and well-structured, underpinned by fresh acidity, a delicate effervescence and a harmonious interplay of fruit, spice and a subtle hint of yeast. The finish is precise, creamy and long-lasting, accompanied by citrus freshness and a subtle nuttiness.
