        Description

        Prélude Grand Cru, an exceptional cuvée, is the expression of the finest terroirs of the champagne Taittinger. This bottle stands out for its balance between freshness and complexity, while offering delicate notes of flowers and citrus.

        The creation of the champagne Prélude Grand Cru de Taittinger

        The Prélude Grand Cru cuvée is the result of a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, exclusively from vineyards classified as 100% Grands Crus. Only the cuvées (the first juices from pressing) are used.

        With such quality grapes, this is a champagne designed for aging and the slow development of aromas. Spending a minimum of 5 years in the cellar, this cuvée develops a richness of flavors while retaining a brilliant youthfulness. The precise dosage of this cuvée also contributes to the perfect balance between lively acidity and silky smoothness in the mouth.

        Tasting of the cuvée

        • Robe

          The robe of the Prélude Grand Cru cuvée is bright, pale, with silver reflections. Its bubbles are fine and form a beautiful train of bubbles.

        • Nose

          On the first nose, one discovers a fresh and mineral champagne, with a vegetal touch, which then evolves into something more floral, reminiscent of elderflower.

        • Mouth

          In the mouth, the attack is lively and frank, with aromas of citrus, then on the palate, the wine becomes rounder and fuller. The finish is long, rich, and explosive.
