Merchant's description
Taittinger’s flagship Blanc de Blancs was first produced in 1952 and it’s only made in the best years. The 2002 vintage was reviewed by the Wine Spectator as follows, `A rich base of toasted brioche and briny mineral supports flavors of poached quince, white peach puree, fleur de sel, pastry and smoked almond. There`s a quiet verve to this wine, with a fine, silky texture throughout.`
