Taittinger Les Folies de la Marquetterie, Champagne, France NV

One of Taittinger's most distinctive Champagnes, Les Folies de la Marquetterie is a beautiful expression of the estate's historic vineyards surrounding Château de la Marquetterie in Pierry. Unlike the house's more familiar, Chardonnay-driven style, this cuvée emphasizes Pinot Noir, delivering additional richness, structure and depth. A blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, with a portion fermented in oak, it offers enticing aromas of ripe peach, apricot, yellow apple, toasted brioche and vanilla. The palate is generous and beautifully textured, with fine bubbles, creamy richness and a long, elegant finish. Aged for approximately five years before release, this is a wonderfully vinous, food-friendly Champagne that deserves a place at the dinner table.
