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.
90 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The latest release of Taittinger’s NV Brut La Française exhibits aromas of citrus oil, apple, pastry and nuts. Medium to full-bodied with a fleshy fruit core, it’s perfectly balanced with a pinpoint mousse and a refreshing, penetrating finish
Winemaker Notes
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.
