- A vivacious, fresh nose offers aromas of hawthorn, grapefruit, and pear, underpinned by a light minerality and smokiness that is exclusive to the 2015 vintage. The palate is crisp and wonderfully precise. Marked by citrus fruit, it offers an excellent balance of structure and finesse. The complex finish is elegant and long.
The 2015 cuvée was produced only using the first press wines. Cool fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks; prior to the wines being meticulously blended. The final cuvee underwent secondary fermentation in the bottle and was aged for more than five years in Taittinger's cool cellars, which unlocked its full potential. The Taittinger Brut Vintage comprises only wines from the first press with a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. A 5-year long ageing period in the cellars unlocks its full potential.
The 2015 Brut Vintage exudes aromatic finesse with lively freshness and exquisite precision. Orange blossom, floral notes and white peach are layered with toasted almond through to a smooth and richly fruited palate with chalky minerality.

Taittinger manage their own vineyards with sustainability at the heart of every decision – putting hours of care into every individual vine. Taittinger Brut 2015 is made from a balanced blend of 50% Chardonnay, primarily from the Grands Crus of the Cote des Blancs and 50% Pinot Noir primarily from the Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims, at the start of the Vallée de la Marne. The Grand Crus make up a significant proportion of the blend at 70%, while the remaining 30% comes from selected villages which are classified as Premiers Crus. Each Grand Cru site brings precise characters to the blend such as minerality, structure or fruitness. All Taittinger’s vineyards are managed under the watchful eye of Christelle Rinvelle, Champagne |
