Anyone who has ever read Frost will know we love Champagne Taittinger. It is one of the perks of the job reviewing them. Here are the two best ones for Valentine’s Day. Each one is a stunner.

Champagne Taittinger Brut Réserve NV

RRP: £40.05

40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, 25% Pinot Meunier

Simply put Taittinger Brut Réserve defines the Taittinger house style. Dry, light and graceful with small fine bubbles. Fresh citrus fruit and subtle, weightier notes of peach and brioche combine to provide elegance in a glass.

Refreshing and light. It has a perfect fizz that will leave you happy and buzzing all night. Don’t dare celebrate without it.

45% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Meunier

A vibrant rosé with a vivid aroma of red summer fruit, enticing wild strawberry and raspberry dominate the stylish and elegant palate.

I have always been a huge fan of rosé champagne and this one is my favourite. It is fruity and fizzy, exciting and elegant. Basically, it is just happiness in a glass. Could not recommend it more.

 

Both wines are available in gift packs with two glasses.

Taittinger Brut Réserve NV & Taittinger Prestige Rosé NV Champagne Review

Posted on by

Taittinger Brut Réserve NV & Taittinger Prestige Rosé NV Champagne reviewChampagne Taittinger Brut Réserve NV is one of the best bottles of champagne on the market. Made with fruit from only the prime vineyards throughout Champagne, this is the signature cuvée of Champagne Taittinger. A blend of Chardonnay wines (40%) and Pinot wines (60%) from 30 to 50 different vineyards and matured to perfection. Elegant and delicately golden with sweet biscuit and brioche notes, this Champagne has peach and acacia notes on the nose. It is beautiful and well-balanced. It is aged for three to four years in the cellars. Crisp and perfectly matured.
This champagne can be drunk as an aperitif or with food. Enjoy with white meat, canapés, oysters or smoked salmon.

TAITTINGER Brut Reserve Champagne 75cl Bottle is available here or from Majestics.com, Sainsburys.co.uk, tesco.com or waitrose.com

 

Champagne Taittinger Prestige Rosé NV was always going to get a good review as we love rosé at Frost. Throw in the fact that this is champagne and win-win. This is a gorgeous, delicate wine that has aromas of wild strawberries and spice. Flavours of crushed raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant. This is a delicious, vibrant wine. Highly recommended, just amazing. Enjoy with fruit based desserts, red fruit, delicate sorbet, summer pudding and selected cheeses.

Champagne Taittinger Brut Reserve NV Review

Posted on by

When it comes to champagne it is hard to beat Taittinger. This Brut Reserve is renowned for it’s golden yellow colour and has hints of fresh fruit, brioche and honey. It is a delicate, fresh and elegant wine. With good bubbles that are not too full on. It is consistent and fine but with great depth. This is a champagne that is excellent for the moment, but also could be drank everyday (if only). It also makes an excellent aperitif. A truly wonderful champagne.

Enjoy with: grilled & roasted white meats, fish/shellfish and perfect as an aperitif or with canapes.

Available from Ocado, Tesco, Amazon and Waitrose

At Frost we have been reviewing Taittinger champagne for you. I know, it is a hard job. We reviewed three different bottles.

taittinger, champagne,

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.
