        Description

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

        The production of Taittinger's Prélude Grand Cru champagne

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

        With such high-quality grapes, this champagne is made for aging and the slow development of aromas. Spending at least five years in the cellar, this cuvée develops a wealth of flavors while retaining a vibrant youthfulness. The precise dosage of this cuvée also contributes to the perfect balance between lively acidity and silky smoothness on the palate.

        Tasting notes

        • Appearance

          The Prélude Grand Cru has a bright, pale color with silvery highlights. Its bubbles are fine and form a superb bubble train.

        • Nose

          The first nose reveals a fresh, mineral champagne with a hint of vegetation, which then evolves into something more floral, reminiscent of elderflower.

        • Palate

          On the palate, the attack is lively and frank, with citrus aromas, then on the palate, the wine rounds out and becomes fuller and rounder. The finish is long, rich and explosive.
