Produced exclusively from grands crus vineyards in Champagne,
Taittinger Prélude combines tradition and elegance
in this Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend. The complexity of
this Brut is revealed in its firm structure and fine, creamy
bubbles, which last on the tongue and in the flute. The wine’s
color is a vibrant pale yellow, due mostly to the increased
proportion of Chardonnay. A fresh nose reveals mineral and
floral aromas offset by a hint of cinnamon. On the palate,
the Champagne suggests ripe peach and citrus flavors amid
the lasting but not overwhelming bubbles. The finish is long
and expressive. With its quality aging potential, we recommend
keeping the Prélude for a special occasion.
