About the Producer:
Nestled in the heart of the Marne Valley, the Taillet house marketed its first bottles in 1961.
Today managed by Eric Taillet, the 4th generation, together with his children Dylan and Lena, the 5th generation, the winery asserts itself more than ever in its philosophy of working the vines while respecting the environment and in harmony with nature.
With just under 5 hectares (14 acres), the winery produces Champagne focused primarily on Pinot Meunier (79%), with only 11% Pinot Noir, 9% Chardonnay and a mere 1% planted to Pinot Gris, Arbane and Petit Meslier. Their very old vines are grown on living clay soils and limestone, flint and clay subsoils.
Taillet is a perfectionist who wishes to preserve in each of his Champagnes a typicity and a style that is recognized at the first sip.
About this Wine:
The Champagne Rosé Luminous'T by Eric Taillet is composed of 92% Meunier and 8% Pinot Noir (vin rouge / red wine) originating from the terroirs in Vallée de la Marne near the domain in Basileux-sous-Châtillon. After the traditional pressing and fermentation barrels and vats, this cuvée ages in bottle and then is dosed with 6 g/l of liqueur d'expedition making it a brut.
Tasting Notes:
Brilliant light pink color, the nose is dominated by aromas of red fruits, while the mouth is of great freshness and elegance. A gorgeous Champagne with beautiful elegance.
Ratings & Reviews
90 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"Crisp and dry, this is a delicious and fruity Champagne. Red fruits go with citrus and bright acidity to create a textured wine that is full both of fruit and minerality. It is a great apéritif style." - Roger Voss
