Millésime 2016 2015
Taittinger | Millésimé | Vintage 2015
Sometimes you don't need an occasion, just the right champagne. And when two bottles are sitting in the cellar – Millésime 2015 and 2016 – the choice becomes a matter of character.
The 2015: warm, open, charming. The 2016: cooler, clearer, more precise. Both work – but depending on the mood, only one fits.
The 2016 convinces with citrus, fine structure and a hint of chalk – simply honest. Exactly the right tone when you're looking for a clear, focused champagne.
A few facts about the 2016 vintage: • Pinot Noir & Chardonnay, classic Taittinger • Vintage with freshness, structure & tension • Fine citrus fruit, cool minerality • ️ Stainless steel aging – clear, precise, no wood • ️ Dosage around 9 g/l – balanced, dry, elegant • ️ Maturity with restraint – everything in its right place
With simple dishes like tuna tramezzini – soft, salty, quickly made – it shows itself as an ideal companion: The cool minerality cuts through the salt, the citrus fruit complements the fish. A champagne that deserves attention without demanding it.
