Champagne Taittinger Prelude Grand Cru NV Gift Boxed 12.5% 750ml

**Champagne Taittinger Prelude Grand Cru NV Gift Boxed 12.5% 750ml** **Prelude Grands Crus Cuvee** is composed of Chardonnay (50%) and Pinot Noir (50%) that Taittinger has selected exclusively from the top Grands Crus vineyards. Produced only using first press wines, this rare blend offers the finesse and structure that a great wine needs if it to be laid down for any length of time. The brilliant body is pale yellow with silver highlights, a sign of the high proportion of exceptional Chardonnays. The bubbles are fine and form a persistent and delicately creamy ring of foam. The wine is subtle and fresh on the nose. The initial mineral aromas quickly give way to green and then floral notes with the fragrance of elderflowers and spicy cinnamon undertones. **Palate:** clean and lively, dominated by very exceedingly fresh citrus notes. These segue into much fuller, rounder and silkier flavours where white peaches in syrup predominate. The finish is rich, lingering and bursting with flavour. Prelude Grands Crus is a joyous blend of finesse and complexity. Its balance of freshness and aromatic expression is outstanding. **Champagne Taittinger,** A legacy since 1734, Champagne Taittinger is the largest eponymous family owned Champagne House and one of the top, independent champagne brands in the world. This family of growers cultivates the second largest vineyard in the Champagne region. The composition of the house's cuvees is a result of an intuitive and complex process, one which the Taittinger family know how to create and sustain; a Champagne which is completely unique. The hidden gem of this renowned brand is the revered Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs, a continuance of Taittinger's signature elegance, finesse and guaranteed quality which is evident across the range of sophisticated cuvees. The passionate Taittinger family have always been in pursuit of excellence by investing their heart, preserving the heritage of the house, and building Champagne Taittinger so as to transmit to future generations. **Variety:** Pinot Noir, Chardonnay **Region:** Champagne, France **Winemaker:** Alexandre Ponnavoy This Product is offered and supplied by Cornerstone Trading Group, Liquor Licence No. LIQP770017094.
