Taittinger Collection Sebastian Salgado Vintage 2008

Taittinger selects only the very best vintages to be decorated by an artist for the Taittinger Collection, which contains 13 editions to date. Taittinger chose photographer Sebastião Salgado to embellish its Brut Millésimé 2008. The first for a photographic artist. This Franco-Brazilian artist had already created powerful work of stunningly beautiful images of man, animals and the planet. His latest work, published in 2013, was entitled ‘Genesis’ and the image chosen by Salgado for the Taittinger Collection was taken from this. The black and white photograph shows a leopard drinking from the Barab River Valley, Damaraland, Namibia - a depiction of all that is honest and true.

Typical blend Chardonnay, Pinot Noir. 75cl bottle. Abv 12.5%

Bottle condition, excellent condition in its original box, although the box has some damage to it

Nice nose that has the harmonious freshness but also ripe weightiness that I've seen in '08 DP so far. Same thing for the palate, tension, citrus, and good sprite but all with rich and stylistically more open-knit fruit underneath it. Second one of these, first was in August.
