✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Tracing its foundations back to 1734 when the original house was established by Jacques Fourneaux, Champagne Taittinger took its modern identity in 1932 under the visionary leadership of Pierre Taittinger. Headquartered in Reims within the historic Champagne region of France, the family-owned house matures its finest cuvées inside UNESCO-listed Gallo-Roman chalk caves beneath the ancient Abbey of Saint-Nicaise. Taittinger is distinguished by its defining reliance on Chardonnay, crafting champagnes celebrated for their elegance, minerality, and delicate aromatics. The house's supreme expression is the iconic Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs, a benchmark vintage champagne produced exclusively from top Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs.
