Tasting notes | A pale yellow Champagne with very light, abundant bubbles which rise steadily to form a fine mousse. Very intense bouquet, opening with notes of pastry cream of great aromatic richness. The finish is accompanied by a few lightly toasted notes. On the palate, the attack is frank with good tension, good structure and a hint of fruit wood. The mid-palate is smooth and voluptuous, with flavours of ripe fruit such as pink grapefruit. The long, rich, complex finish is accompanied by a pleasant freshness |

Originally created in 1734, Taittinger Champagne House was purchased by Pierre Taittinger in 1932. It is one of the few remaining Champagne houses to be managed by people who bear its name. In 1944s, Pierre Taittinger boldly introduced Chardonnay as the dnant variety in Taittinger blends, crafting the renowned house style.
