The Structure
Discover the structure of this Champagne
Freshness
Harmonious balance between the various components of acidity.
Roundness
Supple, easy-drinking champagne, the acidity doesn't clash with the palate.
Power
Generous champagne with great intensity.
Long on the palate
Champagne aromas linger on the palate.
Tasting
Bright, pale yellow with silver highlights. The bubbles are fine and form a persistent cordon de mousse.
The nose is fine and fresh. The first aromas are mineral and quickly become vegetal, then floral, with scents of elderflowers mixed with spicy touches of cinnamon.
The attack on the palate is lively and frank, dominated by very fresh citrus notes. It then becomes much fuller, round and silky, accompanied by flavors of white peach in syrup. The finish is long, rich and explosive. Prélude " Grands Crus" is a wine that combines finesse and complexity.

About this house
The Taittinger family, at the helm of the House for almost a century, is constantly striving for excellence: "Having our family name on a bottle imposes a responsibility and a demand on us at every moment. This signature bears both the know-how of the past and a commitment to the future", as Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger likes to say.
A commitment he shares today with his son Clovis and daughter Vitalie.
