The production of Taittinger Brut Millésime 2016

Brut Millésime 2016 is the result of a wine-growing year marked by contrasting weather conditions, with a difficult start to the season followed by a sunny summer. Despite the difficult start to the year, the harvest produced grapes in excellent condition, with balanced acidity and sugar levels. The wines from the 2016 harvest are distinguished by their aromatic richness, with pronounced notes of ripe fruit and refreshing minerality. The 2016 vintage is appreciated for its finesse, precision and elegance, and has great aging potential thanks to a perfect balance between freshness and depth.

This cuvée is made exclusively from first-press wines. The blend is 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. The grapes come from 70% Grands Crus and Premiers Crus in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. A cellar aging of more than five years allows this vintage to achieve remarkable maturity and complexity.
