Taittinger Prelude Grands Cru

Pale gold with a persistent, fine bead, Prélude Grands Crus opens with an elegant bouquet of white peach, citrus blossom, and brioche, laced with cool chalk and a whisper of anise. The palate is poised and expansive, balancing the purity of Chardonnay with the depth of Pinot Noir. Notes of lemon cream, poached pear, and pastry unfold over a supple yet mineral-driven structure. The mousse is silken and persistent, with bright acidity lending lift and definition. The finish is long, clean, and subtly toasty, leaving a trace of sea spray and stone. Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages, Prélude is a study in tension and refinement—classical, composed, and quietly expressive.
