✨ Technical Specifications
The house of Taittinger, established in Reims, is one of the last great family-run Champagne houses, celebrated for its signature style defined by a high proportion of Chardonnay. This NV Assortment Case offers a curated journey through the house's non-vintage mastery, typically anchored by their flagship Brut Réserve. The history of Taittinger is deeply intertwined with the legendary Abbey of Saint-Nicaise, where their precious bottles age in Gallo-Roman chalk cellars (crayères) carved in the 4th century. Crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier sourced from over 35 different vineyards, these Champagnes undergo extensive lees aging to achieve a perfect harmony of fresh stone fruits, brioche, and delicate floral notes, reflecting the elegance and celebratory spirit of the region.
🍾 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.
