Taittinger Prélude Grands Crus is a refined and expressive Champagne crafted exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards. With a brilliant pale yellow hue and silvery highlights, fine persistent bubbles form a delicate, creamy mousse. The nose is fresh and subtle, evolving from mineral notes to green, floral aromas with hints of elderflower and gentle spicy cinnamon. On the palate, vibrant citrus fruit leads into a fuller, well-bodied mid-palate with nuances of white peaches in syrup, finishing long, rich and expressive.
