2015 Taittinger, Brut
Pale straw. Solid depth to this and a nice lot of autolysis. Tingly and exciting. Well done and not that expensive for a vintage champagne nowadays, alas. Long. GV? ~ (17) Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com 10-24-2024
The same vintage I tasted last year, the 2015 Champagne Millésime Brut pours a bright straw hue and has developed more attractive aromatics since last year. Raised entirely in stainless steel tank for this vintage, with 9 grams per liter dosage, it’s equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with 70% of the best grapes from the Grand Cru villages and 30% of the best wines from the Premier Cru Villages. Lush with aromatics of wet stone, orange marmalade, and ripe apricot, it takes on a darker mineral undertone. Fleshy and full-bodied, it has a bit of bitter citrus on the finish, adding structure over acidity, with an expansive texture and rounded mousse. It’s in a very nice place at the moment and will have a fair bit of life ahead over the coming 10-15 years. Disgorged December 2022. ~ (93) Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com 11-17-2023
This is a vivid Taittinger with notes of chalk, almond croissants, lemon curd and biscuits. Bright and linear, with a tight bead of bubbles. Focused with persistent pastry notes. 50% pinot noir and 50% chardonnay; 70% Grands Crus and 30% Premiers Crus. Drink or hold. ~ (93) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 8-23-2022
Taittinger’s 2015 Brut Millésimé is a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir from various villages, 70% of which are grands crus. It has an elegant, floral bouquet with aromas of honeysuckle, lime tree, citrus oil, orchard fruit and almonds. It’s moderately weighted and perfectly balanced with a delicate mousse and a refined, elegant and mineral finish. This well-crafted, superb cuvée requires patience to fully realize its potential. ~ (92) Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 11-16-2023
