Champagne Eric Taillet
Renaissance V14

The Champagne Renaissance by Eric Taillet is a Blanc de Meunier composed of 100% Meunier grapes from the Vallée de la Marne. Here the Meunier is the real owner of the vineyards and they are very old. The pressing is done in wood in the traditional way and the aging on the yeasts is carried out in barrels and thermo-regulated tanks, for a total final aging of more than 40 months. The dosage for this Champagne is 0,6 g/l - making it an Extra Brut.

The Champagne Renaissance smells of fruity aromas of cherry and the slightly herbaceous aromas of fresh mint. The velvety and elegant structure and its excellent freshness stand out in the mouth, with a long and persistent finish. This Champagne is perfect throughout refined dinners, both with fish and white meat; it also matches perfectly with mature and soft cheeses of the French tradition.

Champagne Eric Taillet

The story of Eric Taillet, as often happens in the world of wine, is one handed down from father to son: from father Daniel, who began to produce his first bottles in 1961, to his son Eric, who took over the reins of production in 1995 and who still heads the company today. The Domaine Éric Taillet is located in Baslieux-sous-Châtillon, in a beautiful area within Vallée de la Marne where the terroir is composed of clay, marl and sand, and is rich in nutrients. The production is made to measure, which certainly holds the eye to an accurate oenology and high quality: only 5.7 hectares of vineyards that extend over 6 municipalities adjacent to the Domaine. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier are cultivated here, but it is Meunier that probably has the most important role in the production of Éric Taillet: in many of the cuvées the presence of Meunier is predominant and just some of the Blanc de Meunier as Le Bois de Binson or Bansionensi have built the reputation of Champagnes by Éric Taillet. But certainly also Chardonnay and Pinot Noir have their importance for Éric Taillet, both in the blendings of great cuvées such as Sur Le Grand Marais, and in purity, as in the case of L'Autentique.
