The Winery

Taittinger

Taittinger is one of the few Champagne houses still owned and operated by its original, founding family. Distinguished for their unique higher proportion of Chardonnay and longer aging period before release, the house repeatedly produces critically acclaimed wines with consistent scores. The prestigious Champagne tends to be more delicate and refreshing, and they make a range of styles from demi-sec and rosé to limited edition special releases. From Grand Cru vineyards in Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims regions, Taittinger Champagne is elegant, luxurious and will remain a cellar-worthy collectible for years to come.

Tasting Notes

WE97
The balance between ripeness and acidity that is the hallmark of this fine vintage is expressed well in this impressive wine. Tangy, with a strong streak of minerality, it is crisp and rich at the same time. For its fruitiness, it is ready to drink; for more maturity, it will need to age until 2018. Cellar Selection.
JS93
Taittinger's complexity is apparent here on the nose of this complex, rich and deeply powerful vintage Champagne. Flinty struck match reduction, toasty yeasty notes and bright lemon-infused citrus notes are all bursting from the glass amid savory, chalky minerals. The palate has a bold lemon citrus and peach fruit flavor to it, really saline, minerally and contained. Some glossy brulée-like notes to close. Drink now up to five years.
