NV Taittinger - Champagne Brut La Francaise
Taittinger's flagship non-vintage and the house's most widely recognized cuvée, produced from over 350 crus across the Champagne region. Known for its distinctively Chardonnay-forward house style — more so than most grandes maisons — which imparts an elegant, floral character that sets it apart from richer, Pinot-dominant NV blends. Pale gold with fine persistent bubbles; the nose opens with fresh citrus, white peach, brioche, and a hint of vanilla. The palate is elegant and lively, with crisp green apple, pear, and subtle toasty notes, finishing clean and refreshing with bright acidity. Aged a minimum of three years on lees. Approachable, food-friendly, and reliably consistent vintage to vintage — a benchmark for the style
