Taittinger Prelude
|
Pale color. Highly aromatic nose combines apple, pear, orange zest, brown butter, toasted bread and baking spices. Bright, creamy and quite fine, with a subtle leesiness and hints of citrus fruits, flowers, minerals and spices. This has good mouthfilling extract without any excess weight. Finishes long, ripe and firmly dry. A 50/50 blend of pinot noir and chardonnay.

There is a certain 'lightness' about this wine that allows its toasty, creamy yeast notes to take wing in a nicely energetic manner. The wine is foamy and mouthfilling with its bubbles, and its underlying fruit is clean, lively, balanced and pleasingly long on the palate.
