Taittinger Brut La Francaise a delicate, elegantly fresh Champagne made from a high percentage of Chardonnay grapes. It has a refined flavor palate of stone fruits and pear offset by warm yeasty notes and hints breadcrust. Taittinger Brut La Francaise's subtle, pale golden color is highlighted by fine, persistent bubbles that rise to the surface in delicate strands. On the palate, you will find a rich, refined Chardonnay fruit flavor, with berry and white aromas. The whole is supported by a balanced acidity that is fresh and crisp. It finishes with a crisp, toasty finish of great finesse. The finished blend is given body, structure, power, and elegance by Pinot Noir. Pinot Meunier adds a round, supple fruitiness and elegance to the wine. Chardonnay provides structure and longevity.
