It is the finest way into the Taittinger style, made of finesse, freshness and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blend brings together 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Meunier, drawn from around forty crus and several harvests, including 30% reserve wines that keep the style consistent from one year to the next. The wine ages three to four years in the cellar before disgorgement and receives a dosage of 9 g\/L. The result is a luminous champagne, both tender and lively, that suits the aperitif as well as the meal. 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, 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 Brut, 9 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e three to four years in the cellar, 30% reserve wines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 cl (magnum, 1.5 L)\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, fine bubbles, abundant and persistent mousse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e White flowers such as acacia and hawthorn, honeyed notes, then yellow peach, mirabelle plum, apricot and fresh vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lively, melting attack, flavours of brioche, honey and vanilla, long finish on lightly toasted almond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it at around 8 to 10 °C, in a white wine glass or a tulip flute rather than a coupe, so its aromas can show. In magnum, allow a few hours in the fridge or a good half hour in a bucket of iced water. The house gives it a cellaring potential of five years or more, and the magnum lets it evolve even more slowly. Store the bottle lying down, in a cool place away from light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an aperitif, with gougères, devilled eggs or a black olive tapenade. At the table, it goes with tomatoes and burrata, artichokes, Mediterranean cooking built around aubergine, or cheeses such as Cantal and Mimolette. It is also surprising with fresh figs or a rum baba. In magnum, it is the ideal companion for a festive buffet or a grand dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFurther reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead \u003ca href=\"\/en-tw\/blogs\/conseils-actualites-le-caveau-des-pepites\/champagne-taittinger-histoire\"\u003ethe story of Maison Taittinger\u003c\/a\u003e.

Reserve wines, kept by the house, make it possible to find the same style every year. The term brut refers to a low dosage, below 12 g\/L, which keeps fruit and freshness in the foreground.\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 bottle shipped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery is free in France for orders from €300.
