Taittinger Folies de la Marquetterie NV (1x75cl)

The Taittinger Folies de la Marquetterie NV represents a singular expression from the historic Château de la Marquetterie vineyard, a lieu-dit situated in Pierry, Champagne. This unique cuvée is crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from this esteemed parcel. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes a partial maturation in oak barrels, a deliberate choice to impart subtle complexity and structure without overshadowing the inherent fruit purity and mineral drive of the terroir. Extended lees ageing further contributes to its profound depth and textural richness, culminating in a Champagne that articulates both the house style and the distinctive character of its origin.

Tasting notes

On the nose, the Taittinger Folies de la Marquetterie NV presents an intricate bouquet of toasted brioche, ripe red berries, and candied citrus peel, underpinned by delicate floral nuances and a hint of hazelnut. The palate reveals a wine of remarkable structure and depth, with a creamy mousse that carries flavors of orchard fruit, plum, and a subtle minerality. A judicious touch of oak lends a refined texture and a long, persistent finish, balanced by a vibrant acidity that promises excellent ageing potential.
