Tasting Panel: 95 Points
Bright and lively, this is one of my favorite non vintage Bruts. Crisp and balanced, with smooth, exuberant, Chardonnay-driven style; racy, elegant, and totally charming; long and memorable.
James Suckling: 92 PointsA dry, fresh and delicious Taittinger with aromas and flavors of apples, fresh lemons and minerals. Full-bodied. Precise. White pepper and salt at the end. 40% chardonnay and 35% pinot noir, the rest pinot meunier. Three to four years on the lees. Drink now.
Taittinger Brut La Française is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier wines from at least 35 villages. The high proportion of Chardonnay (40%) is unique among fine nonvintage Champagnes. The presses are located in the vineyard for immediate pressing of the fruit after the manual harvest, and the resulting must is cold fermented under temperature-controlled conditions. After resting until the end of winter, the wine is blended, and then the final cuvée undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle in Taittinger’s cool cellars. The aging of Brut La Française on the lees for almost 4 years more than doubles the legal minimum of 15 months. This extra time in the cellars allows the wine to reach the peak of aromatic maturity, and the result is a delicately balanced Champagne, known for its consistently excellent quality.

Champagne
Champagne, a world-renowned sparkling wine, originates exclusively from the historic Champagne region in northeastern France and is produced using the traditional method, known as méthode champenoise. This elaborate process involves a second fermentation in the bottle, resulting in its signature effervescence. Comprising a carefully selected blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes, Champagne boasts a complex flavor profile with notes of citrus, brioche, and green apple, often influenced by the unique terroir of the region. Beyond its exquisite taste, Champagne has become synonymous with celebrations, luxury, and refinement, making it a symbol of festivity and special moments around the globe.
