Description
Taittinger is one of the few Grande Marques which remains family owned and operated to this day. The house cellars once belonged to Benedictine monks and is now UNESCO listed. The hallmark of Taittinger is the large percetnage of Chardonnay in their wines. This is exemplified in their blanc de blancs Prestige Cuvee, Comtes de Champagne.
The Brut Réserve is renowned for its golden yellow colour with a consistent, fine, lingering mousse. The nose is light and delicate with hints of fruits and brioche. The palate is lean, but has considerable depth and elegance with a long fresh finish. There is no specific drinking occasion for the Brut Réserve. Its elegance and lightness give it the flexibility to be the Champagne for the moment but it is always an excellent aperitif.
