Description

Taittinger is one of the last great family-owned Champagne houses, and their Brut Réserve is a perfect example of their signature style - elegant, fresh, and always reliable. With a higher proportion of Chardonnay than most non-vintage Champagnes (40%), it leans towards brightness and finesse, making it a go-to for those who love a crisp, refined sparkler.

Aged for at least three years in the cellar, it’s made from over 35 vineyard parcels, ensuring balance and consistency in every bottle. This is the kind of Champagne that fits just about any occasion - whether it’s a celebration or just a midweek excuse to pop a cork.

Classic, effortless, and always a solid choice, Brut Réserve shows why Taittinger remains one of the most respected names in Champagne.

94 points – Top 100 Wines for 2023
"Taittinger has the largest family-owned vineyards in Champagne. This wine is 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier—30% of it from reserves. It matured on yeast lees for at least three years. Balance is key, in the white flowers/peaches of the bouquet and the honey and vanilla of the palate."
- James Halliday (Wine Companion)

Taittinger Brut Réserve is a blend of Chardonnay (40%) and Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier (60%), sourced from over 35 different vineyards and vintages. This high proportion of Chardonnay, unique among fine non-vintage Champagnes, combined with a minimum aging of three years in the cellars, allows the wine to reach its peak aromatic maturity. The result is a delicately balanced Champagne, renowned for its consistently excellent quality worldwide. Taittinger considers it an honour to produce a Brut Champagne every year without exception.

Appearance
A brilliant golden yellow body with fine bubbles and a discreet yet lingering foam.

Aroma
An open and expressive nose delivers aromas of fruit and brioche, alongside delicate notes of peach, white flowers (hawthorn, acacia), and vanilla pod.

Lively and fresh upon entry, with perfect harmony. Delicate flavours of fresh fruit and honey create a refined and elegant profile. With three to four years of aging in the cellar, Taittinger Brut Réserve develops excellent aromatic complexity.

Serving & Occasion
Taittinger Brut Réserve is the Champagne for any occasion—a true symbol of festivity. It is the ideal companion for celebrating life's happiest milestones.
