Eric Taillet, Exclusiv’T, Champagne

Eric Taillet is a dedicated vigneron from the heart of the Marne Valley, and is renowned for his work with the Meunier grape. This is a beautiful example of a superbly made 100% Meunier champagne.

This stunning champagne greets you with a light golden hue and a fine stream of bubbles. On the nose, you’ll find an inviting scent of fresh apples, pear, and a hint of citrus zest. From the first sip, experience a perfect balance of crisp acidity with a creamy texture. The wine evolves with each taste, revealing flavors of green apple, lemon curd, and brioche, leading to a lingering, elegant finish.

For a classic pairing, try it with freshly shucked oysters, a delicate seafood platter or fried chicken. The bright acidity compliments soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert or alongside a summer salad of mixed greens with a light citrus vinaigrette The depth and complexity pairs perfectly with catching up on episodes of The Bear.
