Taittinger Brut Réserve Champagne

Perfumed florals, lemon blossom and ginger open this stalwart Champagne, consistently streamline and welcoming year over year. Deep white florals, crystalline lemon, tight pear, green and yellow apples and a subtle undercurrent of dried apple/apricot creaminess. Forty percent chardonnay, with the balance between pinot noir and pinot meunier. Classic. (Treve Ring,winealign.com,March 19, 2015)
