The Taittinger Champagne Millésimé Brut 2016 with 12.5% vol. in a 0.75-litre bottle including gift box is an elegant, vintage champagne that impressively reflects the stylistic finesse and aromatic precision of the House of Taittinger. The 2016 vintage is one of the Champagne Millésimes full of character, characterised by a cool growing season and excellent ripeness of the grapes. The cuvée is classically composed of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which come exclusively from selected vineyards and give the wine its harmonious balance of finesse, structure and depth.

Careful vinification and an extended ageing period in the famous chalk cellars of Reims give the Millésimé 2016 its precise, multi-layered flavour and striking elegance. The high proportion of Chardonnay provides freshness and finesse, while Pinot Noir contributes structure, ripe fruit and depth. This champagne is an expressive vintage wine with clear minerality, fine perlage and long-lasting complexity - a worthy representative of the prestigious Taittinger house.
