On the palate, it releases superb energy; a fresh and dynamic attack with floral tones such as honeysuckle combined with delightful notes of peach and citrus fruits. The finish is subtle with lovely long-lasting aromas on top of pleasingly bitter orange peel. There is a charming complementarity between the elegance of the chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs and the broader shoulders of the Pinots Noirs from the Montagne de Reims.

This 2016 The Taittinger Brut Millesime Champagne is exclusively produced from first press wines, blended from 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. The Grands Crus make up a significant proportionat 70%, while the other selected villages are all classified as Premiers Crus. Ageing in the cellars for over 5 years helps it to flourish

It will be perfect as an aperitif served alongside cured ham, cheese puffs or prawns. However, its rich structure also lends itself to accompanying salmon, John Dory, tuna or even a scallop carpaccio.
