Taittinger Brut La Francaise NV, Reims, France

Home > Country > Country - France > Taittinger Brut La Francaise NV, Reims, France

Taittinger Brut La Française is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier wines from at least 35 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 the manual harvest, and the resulting must is cold fermented under temperature-controlled conditions. After resting until the end of winter, the wine is blended, and then the final cuvée undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle in Taittinger’s cool cellars. The aging of Brut La Française on the lees for almost 4 years more than doubles the legal minimum of 15 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. 91 Points Wine Spectator.

  • Banshee Rose 2018

    $25.00

    The decision to shift their vineyard sourcing to Mendocino County and expand the palette of varietals they work with for Banshee Rosé proved to be one of their best. The deliciousness and ensuing popularity of the wine last year was phenomenal, the only problem being that they sold out way too soon. Grenache, including some ancient Grenache Gris, dominates the blend providing complex, red fruit flavors and juicy body. This is reined in by Barbera’s tension with a spine of acidity while Syrah contributes a sense of ballast. The Pinot Noir (from a biodynamic vineyard) blends bright red berries and floral aromatics. White peach, citrus, and apricot blossom aromas unfold onto the palate with blood orange, rhubarb and pomegranate flavors. Lively acidity with great tension and verce with a chalky, saline quality.

    $35.00

    Aromatically bountiful, the Leonard Muddy Arch Roussanne  2015, Landa Vineyard is brimming with Meyer lemon zest, lime rind, mandarin, yellow apple skin, and lightly toasted notes of Brioche fill the nose of this cool climate site situated at the base of the Mayacamas mountains near the San Pablo Bay. The bold vintage does offer a mouth filling, Hercules sized mid-palate. Dark honeycomb flavors and the viscosity of beeswax persist throughout. Each Landa Vineyard release proves succulence is in the site’s DNA.

  • Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Noirs

    Add to cart
    $22.00

    This wine is a showcase for what’s possible when you spend over 25 years coddling and cultivating Carneros Pinot Noir for sparkling wine. Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Noirs is not shy about its Pinot Pedigree. You see it in the light blush coloring, taste it in the fresh berry flavors and feel the lush textures. They left it on the skins a little longer, so you can take a little longer to savor the full montage of flavors.
