An expressive and beautifully refined nose explodes from the glass in a puff of chalk, a spritz of scratched lemon peel, fresh butter, smoky lees, a touch of blood orange peel; all rendered with great detail and delicacy. Impressive freshess and energy define the palate as well as great purity. This is so very clean, with an element of grapefruit sorbet about it - most engaging, with notes of blanched almonds, crushed chalk, and just a touch of green olive/citrus pith on the finish. Taut, steely and very refreshing.
“Under the direction of François Taittinger, the company’s cellars were established in the Abbey of Saint-Nicaise, built in the thirteenth century in Gallo-Roman chalk pits dating from the fourth century. After François' death in an accident, his brother Claude took over and directed the business from 1960 to 2005. It was during this time that Taittinger became a champagne house of world renown. Today Taittinger is considered one of the finest Champagne houses of them all.” Jancis Robinson
