This champagne is made from 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir\/Pinot Meunier.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a charming Champagne that has a golden straw yellow color and small fine bubbles.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe scent is full of fruit, i.a. you sense aromas of peach and acacia.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe taste is dry, fresh and lively, with finesse and elegance at the same time.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is a NV Champagne that should be enjoyed young and fresh and it does not gain from further aging.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShould be served at 8 - 10 C.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIs suitable for apéritif, or as an exciting companion to a light dinner.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA little about the house Taittinger:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChampagne house Taittinger was founded in 1734 and is thus the 3rd oldest still existing Champagne house.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBack then, the house was started under the name Forneaux.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 1820 the Forneaux family merged with Antoine Forest. The collaboration was quickly very successful under the name Champagne Forest et Forneaux.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt was during this period that the headquarters were moved from the \"Hôtel le Vergeur\" ​​to the \"Residence de Counts de Champagne\". A building which the Taittinger family still owns and which gives its name to the house's top cuvée Champagne \"Comtes de Champagne\".\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 1932, Pierre Taittinger bought the Champagne house Forest et Fourneaux and their haunt \"Residencen de Comtes de Champagne\". Since there were no natural heirs to the Fornaux or Foreste family, Pierre chose in 1936 to rename the house to Taittinger, which is what it has been called ever since.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 2005, Pierre-Emmanuelle Taittinger took over control of the house, which is why the house is the largest family-owned Champagne house today.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eToday, the Taittinger family owns over 288 hectares of vineyards in 34 different villages and can cover 45% of their grape consumption themselves.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis ensures a steady supply of top quality grapes for the production of delicate, well-balanced Champagnes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTaittinger's cellars are located under St. Nicaise monastery, which in the 13th century belonged to Benedictine monks. The monks used the cellars to store their wines.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese cellars are all that remains of the abbey, as it was destroyed during the French Revolution.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eToday, as mentioned, the cellars are used by Taittinger, and here they have a total capacity of approx. 22 million bottles.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor hundreds of years, the Champagne houses have produced Champagne that was heavy after years of aging and dominated in taste by Pinot grapes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Taittinger family helped develop a Champagne that was lighter in style and more approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComments from a tasting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGreat finesse and elegance, persistence of bubbles. This is assembled from 35 crus and 40% Chardonnay, so while not a Blanc de Blancs (all white wine grapes, that is Chardonnay), this bubbly still has the elegance of that style.
