Champagne Taittinger Brut Reserve 750ml

Coming from the 2019 base vintage with 35% reserve wine, the NV Champagne Reserve Brut retains the same blend, but they’ve added a new update to the label as well as a QR code. A bright straw color, the NV Champagne Reserve Brut is fresh with ripe aromas of fruit cocktail, ripe peach, lemon curd, and fresh bread dough. Highly consistent with the previous year, it’s fresh, inviting, and long on the palate, with ripe, silky fruit, a lively mousse, and a clean, juicy finish. This is the signature wine of the house. Drink 2023-2030. Disgorged in February 2023 and sees the classic 8 grams per liter dosage.
