✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
🍾 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.
