Amadou Sow:
Born in 1951 in Saint-Louis, Senegal, Amadou Sow grew up on Goree Island. From a young age, he developed the foundations of his art, rooted in the soil, the sand and the rocks; the very materials that gave him self-expression. He began his artistic career with rock sculptures in the 1970s, turning then towards rigid and transparent plexiglass, and finally to ceramics. The artist's paintings reflect his life, coloured by journeys and encounters. In 1972 Sow settled in Vienna where he attended the prestigious 300-year-old Academy of Fine Arts. He describes the universe as being at the heart of the artist's mission which he aims to convey as a message through his paintings.
Winemaker Notes
Tasting Notes: A splendid golden straw colour. The very fine bubbles rise in numerous strings which spread out to form a fine, persistent necklace. The nose presents a slightly mineral aroma preceding an intense and delicate fruitiness. The aromas are of sweet citrus fruits such as clementines associated with subtle suggestions of tea, menthol and liquorice. The first impression on the palate is strong then quickly full. The mid-palate is rich, well-rounded and supple with a wide range of fruity and cakey flavours including fresh apricot and brioche. The finish is long and complex. In conclusion, Taittinger Brut Millesime 2002 is a great Champagne offering a rich and harmonious aromatic palate. Its dominant fruity flavour has remarkable finesse and elegance.
