Precision, elegance and vintage character define this distinguished Champagne from the historic house of Taittinger. The Taittinger Brut Millésimé 2018 was produced from a carefully selected blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced exclusively from first-press grapes harvested in exceptional vineyard sites across Champagne. The warm and generous 2018 growing season delivered fruit of remarkable ripeness and aromatic intensity, while maintaining the freshness and structure essential to fine vintage Champagne. Aged extensively in Taittinger’s chalk cellars, the wine developed additional texture and complexity while preserving the maison’s signature finesse and purity.
In the glass, the Champagne reveals refined mousse and expressive aromas of white peach, citrus blossom and brioche layered with hints of toasted almond and honey. The palate is generous yet focused, balancing ripe orchard fruit with vibrant acidity and mineral precision. Taittinger’s high proportion of Chardonnay gives the wine lift and elegance, while Pinot Noir contributes depth, structure and persistence through the finish. Subtle autolytic notes emerge gradually with aeration, revealing pastry cream, hazelnut and delicate spice beneath the fruit core. Despite the richness of the vintage, the wine remains poised and energetic, showing remarkable harmony between freshness and concentration. The mousse is creamy and persistent, carrying citrus and stone fruit flavours seamlessly across the palate. The finish is long, refined and chalk-driven, leaving lingering notes of brioche and mineral tension. This is a polished and age-worthy vintage Champagne that beautifully captures the generosity and balance of the 2018 harvest.
