Tasting Notes
The brilliant brilliant pink colour is shimmering and intense with bubbles that are fine and have a persistent mousse. The nose is satisfyingly intense whilst both fresh and young. It gives off aromas of red fruit (freshly crushed wild raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant). On the palate, this is a velvety wine of fine balance, and body - a subtle wine with flavours of fresh fruit. In all, a very pleasing wine of balance and youth.
The hallmark of the Taittinger blend is the high percentage of Chardonnay it contains, this gives the wines ultimate elegance, delicacy and finesse. This can be anything from 40% in the Brut Reserve NV to 100% in the prestigious Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs and we know through research that it is enjoyed by independently minded people who are sure of what they want.
Other Notes
The origins of Champagne Taittinger date back to the original house founded in 1734 by Jacques Fourneaux. However its links to the Taittinger family started in 1931 when it was purchased by the founder of today's company; Pierre Taittinger.Around 1912 Pierre and one of his brothers-in-law ran a Champagne distribution and export business. As a young cavalry officer in the 1st World War he spent much time in the Champagne area where he was stationed at Chateau de la Marquetterie in Pierry, near Epernay, so named because of the chequered appearance of the vineyards from planting white Chardonnay grapes alongside black Pinot Grapes. He instantly fell in love with the property along with its fine vineyards and after the war in 1932, purchased it a year after he had bought the Fourneaux Company.
Today it is still managed by the Taittinger family and is headed up by Pierre Emmanuel Taittinger.
