Champagne AOC Brut 'Cuvee Prestige' (750 ml. boxed) Taittinger
The Champagne Brut 'Cuvee Prestige' by Taittinger is made up of 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, and 25% Pinot Meunier, using perfectly ripe grapes harvested from over 35 different vineyards. This subtle blend results in a light, elegant, and balanced champagne. The high percentage of Chardonnay (40%) allows the Brut Réserve to reach its full aromatic potential after aging for 3-4 years in the cellars. It is unusual for a non-vintage blend to have such a high amount of Chardonnay, and this is what makes this non-vintage blend so balanced, consistent, and renowned worldwide. It is an excellent champagne, suitable for any occasion.

Taittinger
In the heart of the prestigious Champagne region in France stands elegantly the Maison Taittinger, a jewel of history and vinicultural refinement. Founded on solid family traditions, Taittinger is one of the few maisons still run by the founding family, a detail that reflects in every single bottle produced. Here, tradition marries innovation, gifting the world Champagne of extraordinary elegance and finesse.
The terroir of Champagne, characterized by chalky soils and a unique climate, provides ideal conditions for the cultivation of the three main grapes that give life to these prestigious wines: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Among these, Chardonnay holds a place of honor, giving Taittinger wines an unmistakable freshness and lightness, distinctive notes that can be found in every glass.
Among the gems of Taittinger's production, the Comtes de Champagne stands majestic. This cuvée, made exclusively with Chardonnay grapes from the best Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs, is the symbol of pure elegance, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a minerality that evokes the land from which it comes. Every sip is a journey between tradition and modernity, a sensory experience that tells the story of a timeless territory.
Let yourself be seduced by the unmistakable charm of Taittinger wines on Vino45: an invitation to discover the quintessence of Champagne, where the past meets the present in a toast of elegance and style.

LA MAISON
Among the oldest Houses in the entire denomination, Taittinger is a name that inevitably identifies in every corner of the world one of the greatest French families that has significantly contributed to the success of Champagne.
The history of this mythical House began in 1743 when Jacques Fourneaux started his merchant activity, initially selling white and red wines, and then focusing on sparkling wines. The Forneaux family continued to operate in this sector with great success, joining forces with Antoine Forest, giving rise to the “Forest-Forneaux” company and increasing their success.
In 1932, a young wine enthusiast, Pierre-Charles Taittinger, bought “Forest-Forneaux” and began his winemaking adventure under the Taittinger brand in the town of Reims. From the beginning of production, the House established an increasing bond with a particular grape variety, Chardonnay, which became increasingly central in every blend, until the release, under the leadership of Francois Taittinger, in 1952, of the Comtes de Champagne, the first “Cuvée de Prestige” produced in the area made entirely from white grapes.
Today at the helm of the company, since 2005, is Pierre-Emanuel Taittinger, a direct descendant of Pierre-Charles, surrounded by a team where expertise and professionalism are the core of a winery that continues to be driven by a strong spirit of conquest and tradition.
There are 288 hectares of land owned, scattered among 34 of the best crus in the entire region; here, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are mainly cultivated, along with 15% of Pinot Meunier. Each year, nine labels are born within the walls of Reims, where Brut Reserve, “Prestige” Rosé, and “Nocturne” accompany the great Comtes de Champagne and the various vintages that carry the great prestige of the Taittinger House around the world.
