Date Tasted: 4/2023

Taittinger is a distinguished Champagne house known for producing high-quality Champagnes. Founded in 1734, it has a rich history spanning over 280 years. Located in the heart of the Champagne region in France, specifically Reims, Taittinger has access to fine vineyards. Reims is the capital of the Champagne region and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The region's chalky soils provide excellent drainage and impart a mineral character to the grapes, contributing to Champagne's complexity. Taittinger Champagnes are renowned for their freshness, balance, and ageing potential.

Appearance: It has a radiant and alluring deep old-school rose colour.

Nose: It reveals a medium intensity, offering a delightful bouquet of rose petals. Accompanying the floral notes are crisp red cherry aromas that provide a touch of sweetness. Subtle brioche notes and hints of butter add depth and complexity, elevating the overall aromatic experience.

Palate: It showcases the signature Taittinger style—creamy, soft, and impeccably balanced. The Champagne's texture is velvety and smooth, enveloping the taste buds with a luxurious sensation. Flavours of ripe strawberry and refreshing apple intertwine seamlessly, while the essence of freshly baked bread adds a delightful touch of indulgence. The overall experience is harmonious and refined, leaving a lasting impression.

Drink or Hold: It is enjoyable now and in the next five years.

Food Pairing: This wine pairs wonderfully with dishes such as salmon and tuna tartar, as the flavours complement each other harmoniously.
