Taittinger Brut Vintage 2015 Magnum

On the nose, the 2015 Vintage is simultaneously precise, pure and fruity. It abounds in aromatic finesse and good minerality. This lively freshness feeds into a bouquet of white flowers - orange blossom, lime flower and honeysuckle -punctuated by the aroma of fresh fruits like lime and white peach, delicately accompanied by notes of lightly toasted almonds.

On the palate, the attack is full of energy, precise

and focussed. This rich, fruity and smooth sensation, with a

hint of citrus, provides excellent balance between structure

and finesse. Its almost chalky finish caresses the palate with a

long and lingering saline tone.

It is the perfect confluence of terroir, year, climate and our

House style. 

This vintage encompasses all of our terroirs' finesse and maturity, that can only be fully appreciated upon tasting. In its youth, it expresses itself superbly on its own, and then as the years go by, its generous structure will pair equally well with delicate and refined gastronomic or culinary dishes.

Winemaking:

The Taittinger Vintage Brut is exclusively produced from first press wines, blended from 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. The Grands Crus make up a significant proportion at 70% while the other selected villages are all classified as Premiers Crus. 

Ageing in the cellars for 5 years helps it to flourish.

Vintage 2015:

An elegant vintage! 2015 is remembered for its classic growth cycle. The particularly mild winter gave way to a varied spring with a

period of freezing temperatures followed by intense heat. 

The vines reached full bloom at the usual times, during a sunny

and dry month of June. It was a glorious summer with plenty

of sunshine and little rain. The ripening of the Pinot Noirs

and Chardonnays was given a boost at the end of August

by some long-awaited rainfall. The crops were harvested in

mid-September under the cool autumnal skies, giving rise

to elegant, fresh and fruity wines, worthy of labelling as true

"classics".
