In the press

99/100 - Fantastic complexity here with aromas of toast, biscuit, lemon, almond, chalk and some fennel. It's long, sleek and mineral, with tight, very fine bubbles and so much tension and precision. Very long and chalky finish. Disgorged end of 2023. Drink or hold.
Claire Nesbitt, JamesSuckling.com
96/100 - Tasted six months on from release, the restrained quality of this vintage is shining a little brighter with its lime leaf, floral honey and green mango scents, touches of oyster shell and an emerging floral honey depth, with few signs of outgoing creaminess or nuttiness just yet. Citric juiciness drives the narrow, long palate, perfectly built for ageing; this continues to be a vintage to watch. A blend of all the grand cru villages of the Côte des Blancs. Drinking window: 2024-2040.
Tom Hewson, Decanter.com

Tasting note

Taittinger's top Champagne is pure Chardonnay - and pure elegance, with subtle notes of bread, nuts and ripe fruit and a creamy palate offering stone fruits and citrus.

Vinification

Pure Chardonnay, from from the villages of Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. Made only with the first pressings with, 5% aged in new oak casks. This prestigious Blanc de Blancs Champagne is aged for 10 years before release for sale.

Food Match

Shellfish, poultry, veal, sushi. It's very versatile, but on its own as an aperitif is fantastic.
