Taittinger, founded in its modern form in 1932 when Pierre Taittinger bought a Reims wine business dating to 1734, builds its style on a higher proportion of Chardonnay than most grandes marques, giving a lighter, more delicate register.

Chardonnay at the heart of a grande marque, aged in fourth-century chalk beneath Reims — and family-owned again after a fight to buy it back.
Lovely tones of flowers and berries mark the nose, with red apple skin and blood orange alongside them.
The nose is shy, and this is still a little baby of a Champagne.
A lovely rich colour, and the wine is marked by red berries, with redcurrant, raspberry and gooseberry running through it.
Yellow fruits mark the nose, with a light touch of yeast running through them.
A slightly reticent Champagne. The nose shows clear fruit leaning towards red apple skin, with a touch of orange, yellow flowers and a little spice.
The nose is a firework display, throwing out wave after wave of developed Chardonnay.
An elegant, measured and complex nose with clear minerality and lightly toasted notes.
A rich Champagne with lovely ripe fruit and clear notes of age.
A lovely, deep strawberry colour. Aromatic nose of red berries, richness and fine floral notes.
A fairly rich nose with a clearly Pinot-driven profile. Defined aromas of coconut, red apple and fine chalky minerality, with light, appealing brioche notes.
