WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This Champagne is a blend of some 30 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, respectively 40% and 60% of the total, from several harvests of perfectly ripened grapes.
TASTING NOTES:
A dry, fresh and delicious Taittinger with aromas and flavors of apples, fresh lemons and minerals. Full-bodied. Precise. White pepper and salt at the end. 40% chardonnay and 35% pinot noir, the rest pinot meunier. Three to four years on the lees.
- James Suckling, 92 pts.
The latest release of Taittinger’s NV Brut La Française exhibits aromas of citrus oil, apple, pastry and nuts. Medium to full-bodied with a fleshy fruit core, it’s perfectly balanced with a pinpoint mousse and a refreshing, penetrating finish.
