Extra Dry Special Macaron 2018 (limited edition)

“Greedier and silkier than usual, our cuvée spécial macaron is a wonderful companion for pastries, especially the famous macaron.”

Virginie Taittinger

VIRGINIE T. Vintage 2018 Spécial Macaron is a limited edition.
This cuvée is the result of a collaboration with Claire Heitzler*, pastry chef at Ladurée, and is based on a joint work on "flavor and texture".

Slightly sweeter than our classic Brut, it has a higher dosage that balances the delicate flavors in the macarons.
The wine has matured in stainless steel tanks, and thanks to six years of storage in our cellars, the bubbles are fine and elegant.
