The Making of the Champagne Brut Millésime 2016 Taittinger

The Brut Millésime 2016 is the result of a vintage year marked by contrasting climatic conditions, with a difficult start to the season followed by a sunny summer. Despite the challenging start, the harvest yielded grapes in excellent health, with balanced levels of acidity and sugar. The wines from the 2016 harvest stand out for their aromatic richness, with pronounced notes of ripe fruits and refreshing minerality. The 2016 vintage is appreciated for its finesse, precision, and elegance, and it has a beautiful aging potential thanks to a perfect balance between freshness and depth.

This cuvée is made exclusively with first press wines. The blend is based on 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. The grapes come from 70% Grand Crus and Premier Crus from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. Aging in the cellar for over 5 years allows this vintage to achieve remarkable maturity and complexity.
