Champagne, FranceThis Grands Crus Cuvée is composed of 50/50 chardonnay / pinot noir aged 4-5 years on the lees for depth. Deeper in hue than the NV Brut, with big seashell, chalk, lemon rind and hazelnuts. Serious and confident at first sniff. Generous, full palate with hazelnut, popcorn, toasty lees, lemon curd and struck stone. Fantastic length. For those who prefer a yeasty, richer style of champagne.Tasted: 11 December 2014Tasted by: Prices:

Champagne Taittinger Prélude Grands Crus NV

Champagne, FranceVery pale yellow colour previews a fine, tight bead of continuous mousse. Honey, toasted, baked pear nose with dry citrus, light floral and green apple aromas with a touch of strawberry. Crisp, juicy, full palate with some sweetness along with a rich toasty, nutty, spicy, baked pear, apple skin, honey, butter and lemon flavours. Full, rich style but with some austerity and restraint in the backend. Perfect for lightly spiced, Asian dishes.Tasted: 13 May 2012Tasted by: Prices:
