A significant emptor of the Cote des Blancs, home to the world's finest Chardonnay vineyards, the noble House of Taitinger is one of Champagne's most ancient and most esteemed. Aged in bottle on sediment lees to infuse distinctive Taittinger opulence, it is eventually topped up with the traditional liqueur doseage to impart the House's distinctive full body and smoothness. An equal assemblage de cepages of Chardonnay to Pinot Noir, Prélude Grands Crus is crafted from fruit grown to the highest classified vineyards in all Champagne.
