Taittinger Champagne: Finesse, Freshness and Chardonnay

Few Champagne houses taste as recognizably themselves as Taittinger Champagne. Based in Reims and still run by the Taittinger family, the house builds its wines around Chardonnay, which gives them a lighter, more delicate and more precise style than many of the big Pinot-led names. Expect citrus, white flowers, brioche and a fine, persistent mousse.

The Taittinger Range

Taittinger Brut La Française

The house non-vintage, and the bottle most people mean when they say Taittinger. A high share of Chardonnay and several years of cellar aging give it a fresh, creamy, elegant profile that works as an aperitif or with seafood. We carry it in magnum, the ideal format for a holiday table, and by the case for events.

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs

The prestige cuvée: 100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs, made only in exceptional vintages and aged for years before release. It is one of the benchmark Blanc de Blancs Champagnes, layered and long, and it keeps evolving for a decade or more in the cellar.

Beyond Reims

Taittinger also owns Domaine Carneros in Napa Valley. Its Brut Rosé brings the same elegant approach to California sparkling wine.

How to Serve Taittinger

• Temperature: 45–50°F (7–10°C). Comtes shows more at the warmer end.
• Glass: a tulip or white wine glass shows the aromas better than a narrow flute.
• Pairings: oysters, sushi, ceviche, lobster, roast chicken and aged Comté.
