Prélude Grands Crus Cuvée is composed of half Chardonnay and half Pinot Noir, selected exclusively from Grands Crus vineyards. Produced using only first press wines and aged for more than five years in the Taittinger cellar, the Prélude cuvée is a rare blend that offers finesse and structure, unique for its remarkable youth and great wealth of flavours.

The guiding principles of blending are the achievement of harmony and consistency. The White Foil blend is traditionally composed from around 80 still base wines, drawn from different vineyard sites (crus), grape varieties and vintage years. The blend contains approximately one third of each three grape varieties of Champagne. Pinot Noir contributes body, depth of character and life extending tannins, Pinot Meunier adds youthful freshness, vigour and plump fruit character while Chardonnay gibes lightness, elegance and firmness.

The Vazart-Coquart family has been involved in the wine business for centuries. In 1953, Louis Vazart and his son Jacques launched the family Champagne brand.

They produce what is considered to be one of the best Blanc de Blancs in Champagne.

The distinctive, geologically complex terroir of Chavot and the Coteaux Sud d'Épernay in general is very different to the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims areas where our other growers are based, and the style of wine is creamier and with more fruit.
