About Taittinger
Taittinger, the family-run Reims house, gives Chardonnay a defining role in every blend for freshness and finesse. Brut Réserve combines 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Meunier from over 40 vineyards and four vintages. The flagship Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs is pure Chardonnay from the five Côte des Blancs grands crus, aged about ten years in the chalk cellars of Saint-Nicaise; Comtes Rosé pairs 70% Pinot Noir with 30% Chardonnay. Folies de la Marquetterie, the estate cuvée of Château de la Marquetterie, is 55% Pinot Noir, with 30% of its wines aged in old oak. Prélude Grands Crus, Brut Millésimé, Prestige Rosé and Nocturne complete the range.
