At Frost we have been reviewing Taittinger champagne for you. I know, it is a hard job. We reviewed three different bottles.
Taittinger Nocturne Sec NV, RRP £47, John Lewis, Harrods, winedirect.com
The Taittinger Nocturne Sec NV is a pale yellow champagne with delicate bubbles. It has overtones of yellow peaches and dried apricot. A wonderful, classy champagne which is rich and smooth. The wine is aged for at least four years and is the perfect champagne for desserts and wedding toasts. I could drink this everyday.
Tattinger Brut Réserve NV, RRP £38.99,
A delicious and light champagne. The Taittinger Brut Reserve NV is renowned for it’s golden yellow colour. The nose is light and delicate with hints of fruits and brioche. The wine has depth as it is aged for 3-4 years. Perfect with white meat, fish, shellfish and canapes. Also perfect as an aperitif.
Taittinger Prélude Grands Crus NV, RRP £49, Majestic, Oxford Wine Company, Fortnum & Mason
A brilliant, pale yellow with silvery highlights which is reflective of the high proportions of chardonnay. Subtle and fresh with floral scents and hints of elderflower and spicy cinnamon overtones. The flavour is dominated by intense fresh citrus fruit. This wine comes from the top Grand Cru sites and is made from the first pressing. It is aged for 4-5 years, sometimes more. A real treat, wonderful.
Perfect if you want to really treat your guests. Goes with grilled & roasted white meat. fish/shellfish and as an award-winning aperitif.
Taittinger’s is one of the champagne brands that everyone trusts, and what is better for your wedding than not having to worry about what people are drinking? They will enjoy one of these bottle, we certainly did.
I can’t tell you which one was our favourite as we all chose different champagne and each one has it’s perfect situation, but Frost Loves Taittinger.
