Champagne, France – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier

Elegant, Chardonnay-led Champagne with white peach, citrus, brioche and delicate honeyed notes. Fine bubbles, creamy texture and a beautifully fresh, refined finish.

One of the great historic Champagne houses, celebrated for its elegant, Chardonnay-driven style and commitment to quality.

The house traces its origins to 1734, when Jacques Fourneaux established a Champagne business in Reims. In 1932, Pierre Taittinger acquired the business and helped establish the family name that has since become synonymous with fine Champagne.

Today, Taittinger remains one of the few major Champagne houses under family ownership, with a strong emphasis on vineyard quality, traditional craftsmanship and extended cellar ageing.

The house owns approximately 288 hectares of vineyards, providing an important source of grapes for its wines, while its historic chalk cellars beneath Reims offer ideal conditions for maturation.

Taittinger Brut Réserve embodies the house's signature style, combining a high proportion of Chardonnay with delicate fruit, refined bubbles and exceptional elegance.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most revered red grape varieties, known for its ability to express site with clarity and finesse. Typically showing red and dark cherry fruit, floral notes and subtle earthiness, it is light to medium bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity. Styles range from delicate and aromatic to more structured and concentrated, depending on climate and winemaking approach.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted white grape varieties in the world, renowned for its adaptability to diverse climates and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, where it reaches its most elegant and mineral expression, Chardonnay can range from crisp and steely to rich and opulent, depending on where and how it is made. Its relatively neutral character allows it to reflect both terroir and technique—whether aged in stainless steel for a lean, citrus-driven profile, or in oak barrels to develop notes of vanilla, toast, and creamy texture. Flavours often include apple, pear, lemon, peach, and tropical fruits, with cool-climate examples offering tension and minerality, while warmer regions yield fuller, rounder styles. From Chablis to Napa, Margaret River to Sicily, Chardonnay remains a benchmark for quality and diversity in white wine.

Pinot Meunier

Pinot Meunier is one of the three principal grapes of Champagne, valued for the freshness, fruit character and approachability it brings to sparkling wines. Often showing notes of apple, pear, peach and subtle floral tones, it produces wines with soft texture and vibrant early appeal, helping to balance the structure of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in traditional Champagne blends. Thriving in Champagne’s cooler conditions, Pinot Meunier is particularly prized for its reliability in more challenging vintages and its ability to add roundness and generosity to non vintage cuvées. While traditionally used as a blending component, it is increasingly recognised in its own right for producing expressive, fruit-driven sparkling wines with charm and immediacy.
