Bright and lively, this is one of my favorite non vintage Bruts. Crisp and balanced, with smooth, exuberant, Chardonnay-driven style; racy, elegant, and totally charming; long and memorable.

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. Drink now.

There's a toasty edge to this creamy Champagne, which shows apple tarte Tatin, mandarin orange peel, brioche and smoke. Subtle finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
