Tasting note

這支 1988 年的泰廷爵藝術系列香檳，開瓶就能感受到成熟而溫潤的口感：細緻綿密的氣泡像絲綢般在口中打轉，前段有清新的檸檬皮與烤蘋果香，逐漸帶出熟成麵包皮、烤杏仁和淡淡蜂蜜的餘韻。釀造採用傳統瓶中二次發酵與長時間接觸酒泥，使香氣更立體，口感既有奶油感又保有活潑酸度和礦物感，收尾乾淨且延展。酒莊歷年與當代藝術家合作，瓶身既是藝術品也是收藏品；葡萄來自香檳多個優良園地的精選果實，在涼爽氣候與白堊土壤下成熟緩慢，產量受控以保留風格與精緻度。建議微醒約半小時，搭海鮮或熟成奶酪最合拍。

A mature vintage Champagne from Taittinger’s artist-designed Collection series. On the nose there is a refined interplay of toasted brioche, lemon peel, baked orchard fruits and a hint of honeyed almond — signatures of extended lees ageing. The palate shows a silky, creamy mousse balanced by bright, persistent acidity and a chalky mineral thread; flavours deepen into toasted hazelnut, dried citrus and subtle honeyed nuances. Made by the Traditional Method and released as a Brut dosage, this 1988 vintage offers developed complexity and a long, satisfying finish. The bottle is part of Taittinger’s long-standing collaboration with contemporary artists, where the label and presentation become part of the collectible story.

Winery

泰廷爵（Taittinger）是香檳名門，以優雅和細緻著稱。酒莊結合自家園與優質契作園的果實，來自香檳區多個著名產區的白堊與石灰質土壤，氣候涼爽有利於保持酸度和平衡。自1983年起，他們把「藝術與酒」結合，推出藝術系列限量瓶款，瓶身成為收藏的一部分。釀造上重視傳統方法與長期酒泥陳年，追求清晰的香氣與優雅的口感。目前由 Starwood Capital Group 持有，但仍保留酒莊的精緻風格與釀酒理念。

Champagne Taittinger is a historic house known for its elegant, refined style and long-standing commitment to quality. The estate blends fruit from its own holdings and selected growers across premier Champagne terroirs, and since the 1980s has produced limited 'Collection' cuvées paired with contemporary artists — turning bottle and label into part of the work. Traditional winemaking, extended lees ageing and careful dosage define the house style. Currently owned by Starwood Capital Group, the domaine maintains its focus on finesse and aromatic purity.
