Taittinger Brut Salmanazar Champagne 900cl

A brilliant golden straw yellow. The bubbles are fine. The mousse is both discreet and persistent. On the nose very expressive and open. It is both fruity and bready exuding aromas of peach white flowers (may blossom acacia) and vanilla pod. Vinified from the first pressing of selected Chardonnay Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. Owing to its extensive vinified holdings Taittinger is able to rely primarily on its own grapes.

About Taittinger

Around 1912 Pierre Taittinger and one of his brothers-in-law ran a Champagne distribution and export business. As a young cavalry officer in the 1st World War he spent much time in the Champagne area where he was stationed near Epernay. He fell in love with the vineyards and bought the property and its vineyards from Fourneaux in 1932.
