About the winery · Taittinger ›

Taittinger is a Reims-based Champagne house whose house style highlights a relatively high proportion of Chardonnay. Brut Reserve is described by the producer as the signature of the house, built for precision, balance and consistency across non-vintage releases. In the U.S. market, Kobrand presents this bottling as Brut La Francaise, with the same Chardonnay-led blend and extended lees aging. The style is elegant rather than heavy: fine bubbles, delicate fruit, brioche and a fresh finish.
