Taittinger Brut Reserve NV Gift Box
Champagne Taittinger is one of Champagne's historic Maisons, based in Reims, and its Brut Réserve is the house's signature non-vintage Champagne. The blend brings together Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from more than 40 crus and several vintages, including around 30% reserve wines. The unusually high 40% proportion of Chardonnay is central to the Taittinger style, giving the wine freshness, finesse and elegance. Brut Réserve spends around three to four years ageing in the Taittinger cellars, considerably longer than the minimum required for non-vintage Champagne. This extended lees ageing helps develop the wine's fine mousse, brioche and honeyed complexity while preserving its fresh, fruit-driven character. The gift-box presentation makes this 750ml bottle particularly suited to celebrations and special occasions.
Colour: Bright golden straw with fine, persistent bubbles and a delicate mousse.
Nose: Expressive aromas of yellow peach, apricot and white flowers such as acacia and hawthorn develop alongside honey, fresh vanilla and subtle brioche.
Palate: Lively and fresh on entry, with peach, apricot and ripe citrus flavours developing into honey, brioche and lightly toasted almond. The generous Chardonnay component gives the Champagne freshness and finesse, while Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier provide fruit, structure and depth. Fine bubbles give the palate a smooth, creamy texture.
Finish: Long and supple, with lingering citrus and stone fruit, honey, brioche and lightly toasted almond.
- Food Pairing : Taittinger Brut Réserve NV is excellent as an aperitif but has enough richness and texture to accompany food. Try it with oysters, prawns, smoked salmon, sushi, eggs Benedict, roast chicken or soft cheeses such as Brie and Camembert. The lively acidity and fine bubbles refresh the palate, while the peach, brioche and honeyed notes complement both delicate seafood and richer, creamy dishes.
