Taittinger Brut Prestige 750ml

Taittinger is one of the few grand Champagne houses still run by its family, and its non-vintage Brut is unusual for being led by Chardonnay. This bottle is the house Brut sold under the Cuvée Prestige name used in European markets.

Taittinger's house Brut is 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Meunier from more than 40 crus, with about 30% reserve wine and three to four years in the Reims cellars. The dosage is 9 grams per liter, a classic Brut.

Taittinger describes acacia, honey and hawthorn, then peach, mirabelle and vanilla, with brioche on the palate and a finish of toasted almonds.

It's the same style as our Taittinger Brut La Française, the US-labelled bottle; buy whichever is in stock, and if you want pink, pick the Prestige Rosé.

Serve it well chilled as an aperitif or with seafood, chicken or mild cheese. The house says its Brut keeps five years or more.
