Taittinger Brut Reserve NV

Founded in 1734, Taittinger is one of the greatest market leaders and most respected Champagne Houses.  Taittinger owns a total of 280 hectares of vineyards, situated in the best villages in Champagne.  This ensures regular supply of high quality grapes for the production of its delicate, finely balanced champagne, which has gained world-wide recognition amongst connoisseurs.  Two thirds of its production is exported and can be found in more than 100 countries. 

Taittinger Brut Réserve is a blend of Chardonnay wines (40%) and Pinot wines (60%) from 30 to 50 different vineyards and matured to perfection. Such a high proportion of Chardonnay is seldom found among the great champagnes. It is aged for three to four years in the cellar s where it achieves perfect maturity and well-developed aromatic potential. The colour is brilliant, golden straw yellow. The bubbles are fine. The mousse is both discreet and persistent.  The nose, very expressive and open, is both fruity and bready. It exudes aromas of peach, white flowers and vanilla pod.  On the palate, this lively fresh wine is at once in harmony. This is a delicate wine with flavours of fresh fruit and honey.
