Taittinger, Brut Millesime other_regions_australia A background application of wood

A background application of wood is sufficiently subtle to allow the notably spicy and ripe yet quite cool aromas of both red and black pinot fruit

more backward and powerful than the Gravelly Meadow

with refreshing acidity and a beautiful transparency

then racked into French oak for the malolactic fermentation
