House Style & Blend
Taittinger Prestige Brut brings together Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from at least 35 villages. The blend’s 40% Chardonnay lends elegance and freshness, balanced by 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier.
Fruit is harvested by hand and pressed promptly in the vineyard. The must is cold fermented under temperature-controlled conditions, then rests until the end of winter before blending. A second fermentation takes place in bottle in Taittinger’s cool cellars, followed by three to four years of ageing on the lees.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, with fine, persistent bubbles. Peach, white flowers, vanilla pod and brioche aromas lead into fresh fruit and honey flavors, giving this Champagne a delicate, balanced character.
Winemaker Description

This Champagne is a blend of some 30 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, respectively 40% and 60% of the total, from several harvests of perfectly ripened grapes.
95 Points Tasting Panel: 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.
92 Points James Suckling: A 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.
