Taittinger Brut La Franaise is a blend of Chardonnay Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier wines from at least thirty five villages. The high proportion of Chardonnay 40% is unique among fine nonvintage Champagnes. The presses are located in the vineyard for immediate pressing of the fruit after hand harvesting and the resulting must is cold fermented under temperature-control. After resting until the end of winter the wine is blended and then the final cuve undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle in Taittingers cool cellars. The aging of Brut La Franaise on the lees lasts for almost four years more than double the legal minimum of fifteen months. This extra time in the cellars allows the wine to reach the peak of aromatic maturity and the result is a delicately balanced Champagne known for its consistently excellent quality. This wine has a subtle pale gold color with fine persistent bubbles. It is delicate with aromas of peach white flowers vanilla pod and brioche on the nose and flavors of fresh fruit and honey on the palate. Excellent with foods such as seafood and light chicken dishes. Pair with soft and creamy cheeses .
