Brut Millésme 2015 is a 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir blend of which 70% is Grand Cru and 30% Premier Cru. Aged seven years on fine lees before the first release in 2022, it was finished with a nine grams per liter dosage. Alluring and complex on the nose with notes of apple tart, butter pastry, and hazelnuts the medium to full-bodied palate has a ripe and round orchard fruit core supported by buoyant acid freshness and toasty notes emerging at the finish. Very balanced and elegant throughout. The bottle tasted was in early 2023.

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.

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.

The 2015 Champagne Millésime Brut is equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The nose is fragrant with ripe peach and rose petal, and it has a rich texture, with a more viscous feel, and note of yellow flowers and Anjou pear. It speaks to the ripeness of the vintage, but it is long on the palate and has a light phenolic finish. I think this is ready to drink now.

Vibrant and harmonious, with a pleasing range of ripe pear and nectarine, toast point and salted almond, candied lemon peel and spun honey riding the finely detailed bead. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2030.
