I can't compromise on quality. Everything I thought was a challenge in my life has turned out to be the opportunity of a lifetime.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Virginie Taittinger\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/blockquote\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eVirginie Taittinger knows a thing or two about Champagne, and Transmission Brut is a great introduction to what she’s doing under her own name. It’s the starting point for our direct imports from Virginie T, with the incredible family pedigree, quality classified vineyards and extended ageing that got us excited about the range when we met in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter around twenty years working at Taittinger, Virginie\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e, labelled in her earlier years as the \"Princess of Champagne\", established her own house in 2008. She now makes the wines alongside her son Ferdinand Pougatch-Taittinger, keeping production small and giving the Champagnes plenty of time in the cellar before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransmission is led by Pinot Noir, with Chardonnay and Meunier completing the blend and a strong contribution from Premier Cru and Grand Cru classified vineyards. Extended ageing on lees - far beyond the usual at this price point - builds flavour and a creamy texture, so you’re getting the benefit of that patience when you open the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCitrus and ripe orchard fruit come with toasted brioche and a little nuttiness. It’s generous and gently savoury, with fine bubbles and enough freshness to keep the finish clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the bottle to get to know the house, and one we want people to feel comfortable opening without a special occasion. For a family-made Champagne with 5+ years already spent in the cellar, this is one of best value fine Champagnes in the Aussie market today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Virginie T","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43912246624299,"sku":"NV Champagne Virginie T Transmission Brut","price":89.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/NVChampagneVirginieTTransmissionBrut.png?v=1791511853","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/nv-champagne-virginie-t-transmission-brut","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
