The colour is a brilliant, pale yellow with silvery highlights, reflective of the high proportion of Chardonnay. The bubbles are fine and form a lasting and delicately creamy mousse. The nose is subtle and fresh. The initial mineral aromas quickly develop into green, floral scents with hints of elderflower and spicy cinnamon overtones. Flavours are dominated by intense fresh citrus fruit which then give way to a much fuller, well-bodied and mellow taste with flavours reminiscent of white peaches in syrup. The finish is long, rich and extremely expressive. This wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif but has the structure to match grilled fish and seafood.

The Vineyard

Originally known as Forest-Fourneaux with history dating back to 1734
and in 1932 Pierre Taittinger bought the House and the Taittinger label
was born. A century of incredible growth saw Taittinger become one of
the biggest producers and today is one of the last big independent,
family-owned Houses. Pierre-Emmanuel retired in 2019 and was succeeded
as President by his daughter Vitalie. They own 288-hectares of vineyards
and the Taittinger style is the high percentage of Chardonnay. In 2017
Taittinger received two environmental accreditations: the ‘Viticulture
Durable en Champagne’ (Sustainable vine-growing in Champagne) and the
Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE – High environmental sustainability.)

The blend is made from 50% Chardonnay grapes from the Côte des Blancs
primarily from Avize and Le Mesnil sur Oger and 50% Pinot Noir from the
Montagne de Reims area including Mailly, Ambonnay. It is the speciality
of the Grands Crus that bring precise characters to the wine such as its
minerality. There are 17 Grand Cru Villages, the top rated locations
which is about 14% of champagnes total vineyard area.
