The Taittinger Brut Diamond Box features the house's signature Brut Réserve, a testament to the family-run estate's historical mastery in Reims. Rooted in history that traces back to 1734 through the original Forest-Fourneaux house, Taittinger is famous for its breathtaking, UNESCO-listed Gallo-Roman chalk cellars (crayères) where these bottles quietly mature. This cuvée is distinguished by an unusually high proportion of Chardonnay (typically 40%), balanced by Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from over 35 different crus. Aged for three to four years on the lees, it delivers a remarkably elegant profile defined by white flowers, fresh peach, and delicate brioche, reflecting the airy, graceful style that defines the Taittinger heritage.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1932 when Pierre Taittinger acquired the historic Forest-Fourneaux house founded in 1734, Champagne Taittinger is one of the few remaining family-owned and operated Champagne houses based in Reims, France. The house is celebrated for its extensive Gallo-Roman chalk cellars, known as crayères, which provide the perfect aging conditions for their elegant, Chardonnay-dominant cuvées. Taittinger's signature style is defined by lightness, finesse, and mineral precision, epitomized by their legendary prestige cuvée, Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs, alongside their classic Brut Réserve and the artistic Taittinger Collection.
