This magnum is sold only in its Taittinger gift box: it is not available on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blend brings together 60% Pinot Noir from the Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims and 40% Chardonnay from the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs. 13% Grands Crus red wines, from Pinot Noir vinified as red wine in Bouzy, give it its colour and its structure. The wine ages nearly twelve years in the historic chalk cellars of Saint-Nicaise, in Reims, then receives a dosage of 9 g\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the house, the 2013 vintage came from a year with a particularly late and very cool growing cycle, which is reflected in the liveliness of this great rosé built to age. The magnum holds 1.5 litres, the equivalent of two bottles. It is the format enthusiasts prefer: because the volume of air under the cork is proportionally smaller, the wine evolves more slowly and more harmoniously, and gains complexity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Champagne, Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, Bouzy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne Taittinger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 60%, Chardonnay 40%, including 13% Grands Crus red wines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brut, 9 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e nearly twelve years in the Saint-Nicaise chalk cellars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 cl (magnum, 1.5 L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e sold only in a gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salmon pink, bright and clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delicate and complex, rose petals, wild strawberry, raspberry, cherry and pomegranate, then spices, light tobacco and fresh leather with air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh, vibrant attack, lively acidity, intense citrus between mandarin, pink grapefruit and blood orange, long and elegant finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it at around 10 to 12 °C, in a large wine glass, and let it warm slightly to reveal its spicy notes.

After nearly twelve years in the chalk cellars, it is ready to drink, but the house still credits it with a potential of twelve years and more. Over time, it gains notes of spice, tobacco and leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose a magnum?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA magnum ages more slowly than a 75 cl bottle, because the volume of air in contact with the wine is proportionally smaller. The champagne keeps its freshness longer and gains in finesse, and the format is ideal for a table of eight to ten people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is Maison Taittinger?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe origins of the house go back to 1734 and the merchant house Forest-Fourneaux, taken over in 1932 by Pierre Taittinger, who gave it his name. Still family-owned and independent, it is led today by Vitalie Taittinger. Its style rests on the generous place given to Chardonnay, a guarantee of finesse and freshness, and its wines age in the Gallo-Roman chalk cellars of Saint-Nicaise, in Reims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the gift box shipped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery is free in France for orders from €300.
