Taittinger La Francaise Brut Champagne (750Ml)

Description

Taittinger Brut La Française is the house's signature non-vintage Champagne. In some markets you may know it as Brut Réserve. It is a true Champagne from France, built on a large share of Chardonnay. That is unusual for a non-vintage brut, and it gives the wine its light, graceful style.

The blend is about 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier. Grapes come from more than 40 vineyards and several harvests. Mixing vintages keeps the taste steady from bottle to bottle. The wine then ages close to four years on its lees, far beyond the legal minimum. Dosage sits around 9 grams per liter, so it tastes dry.

Pour a glass and you see pale gold color and fine, steady bubbles. The aroma brings peach, white flowers, vanilla pod and fresh brioche. Some tasters also find a delicate note of almond. On the palate, delicate fruit and honey lead, with a bright thread of citrus. Wine Spectator noted a creamy, detailed texture. The finish is fresh, mouthwatering and persistent, and it leaves you ready for the next sip.

Critics keep coming back to it. James Suckling rated it 92 points. Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate each gave it 90.

Serve it well chilled, around 43 to 47°F. It is a lovely aperitif on its own. It also shines with oysters, sushi, smoked salmon, light poultry and soft cheeses.

If you want a classic Champagne that feels elegant without being heavy, this is a safe and happy choice. It makes any small gathering feel like a celebration.
