After three years in the cellar, the wine receives a dosage of 35 g\/L. This generous sweetness is balanced by a fine acidity, which keeps the whole fresh and easy to drink, far from any heaviness.\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, Reims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne Taittinger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay 40%, Pinot Noir 35%, Meunier 25%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Demi-Sec, 35 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e three years in the cellar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 cl\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 Bright golden straw yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delicate aromas of honey and ripe fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lively attack, tangy and smooth, dominated by citrus, well balanced sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it well chilled, at around 6 to 8 °C, in a tulip flute or a white wine glass.

It sits between sec and doux and pairs ideally with desserts and some sweet and savoury starters.\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 bottle shipped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery is free in France for orders from €300.
