    FRANCE : CHAMPAGNE

    Chardonnay, Pinot Noir

    MED-BODIED, HAWTHORN, PEACH, BRIOCHE, CITRUS ZEST, NO OAK

    The 2016 vintage in Champagne came close to not existing. April frosts followed by a wet early summer cut the crop by roughly a third. Then August turned dry and sunny, and September extended the run — 25 days of harvest across both ridgelines, enough to coax exceptional ripeness and the razor acidity that makes vintage Champagne worth the wait. Taittinger's Brut Millésimé draws equally on Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs Grands Crus and Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims Grands Crus: 50/50, 70% Grand Cru sites, five-plus years sur lattes in bottle, disgorged September 2024.
