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.
