Brut Millesime 2016 Vintage Overview

2016 OVERVIEW

Bright citrus and stone-fruit flavors in Champagne Taittinger Brut Millesime 2016 are layered with notes of lemon curd, apricot and delicate pastry, all carried by a very fine, energetic mousse. The palate feels both creamy and tightly focused, with vibrant acidity stretching the finish and hinting at significant aging potential.

About Brut Millesime

Brut Millésimé by Champagne Taittinger is the house’s classic vintage Champagne, produced only in years of outstanding harvests and aged for many years in their Reims cellars to build complexity and length. Typically a 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from around fifteen primarily Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, it is known for its elegant, racy profile that combines citrus and white‑flower finesse with toasty, brioche and mineral notes that evolve beautifully with time in bottle.
