Region & Terroir

Champagne, France

Taittinger Brut La Française is a Chardonnay-forward Champagne sourced from many villages across the region. The house style emphasizes elegance, freshness, and floral lift over overt heaviness.

Grape Varieties

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier

Chardonnay brings citrus, white flowers, and finesse. Pinot Noir adds structure, while Pinot Meunier contributes softness and approachable orchard fruit.

Soil & Vinification

Chalky Champagne soils help keep the wine bright and mineral. Traditional-method bottle fermentation and lees aging add fine bubbles, toast, and cream without losing the wine's light-footed profile.
