Domaine Carneros by Taittinger Brut Cuvee 2022 Rated 94JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 94
Floral and refined with aromas of talc powder, jasmine, sliced lemon and flint. The palate is medium-bodied with a textural yet focused feel and taut acidity with a salivating finish. A nicely balanced and refined sparkling with 9 g/L dosage and a minimum of three years on tirage before disgorgement. Drink or hold.
