      Elegance, structure and Grand Cru precision define this distinguished non-vintage Champagne from one of Champagne’s most revered houses. Taittinger Prélude Grand Cru Champagne NV is crafted exclusively from fruit sourced from Grand Cru vineyards, combining equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from some of the finest crus in the region, including Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Ambonnay and Bouzy. The wine reflects the house’s hallmark style of finesse and purity, while the Grand Cru origins bring added depth, concentration and mineral tension. Extended ageing on lees contributes richness and complexity, enhancing the wine’s layered texture and refined mousse.

      In the glass, Prélude reveals remarkable balance between freshness and vinosity, with bright citrus and stone fruit notes interwoven with subtle brioche, toasted almond and chalk nuances. The Chardonnay component lends lift, precision and elegance, while Pinot Noir contributes structure, breadth and quiet power. Carefully judged dosage preserves the wine’s crystalline clarity and energetic profile, allowing the Grand Cru terroirs to speak with transparency. This is a Champagne of sophistication and composure rather than overt opulence, built around harmony, persistence and precision. Equally suited to aperitif service or fine cuisine, it delivers both immediate pleasure and the capacity for graceful short to medium-term cellaring.

      Taittinger Prelude Grand Cru Champagne NV

      A tighter and firmer dry Champagne with a compact, minerally palate. Lovely, fine and creamy bead. Soft, round mid-palate with lemon, lemon-curd and green-apple flavors. Fresh finish. Linear. Made from one year. All from grand-cru vineyards. 50% chardonnay and 50% pinot noir. Drink now.

      The latest release of Taittinger's NV Brut Prélude Grands Crus is showing nicely, offering up aromas of pear, crisp stone fruit, warm biscuits and marzipan. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and precise, with tangy acids and fine depth at the core, this is still a little reserved after what I suspect is quite a recent disgorgement, and it will merit a little patience.

      — William Kelley, The Wine Advocate, 93 points

      here's a pleasing viscosity to this elegant Champagne, with sleek acidity creating a mouthwatering frame for the flavors of wild cherry, toast point, preserved lemon and honeycomb. Offers a lingering, creamy finish. Drink now through 2023.
