Taste
Taittinger Brut Vintage Champagne 2016 enchants with aromas of lemon curd, brioche, glazed apricot, and vanilla pastry cream, complemented by floral nuances of hawthorn and verbena. The palate is fresh and precise, with flavours of peach, citrus, and subtle honeycomb layered over a silky, well-meshed mousse. A refined bitter orange and toasty finish offers excellent complexity and length.
Producer
Taittinger is one of the last great Champagne houses to remain independently family-owned, tracing its roots back to 1734. Renowned for its Chardonnay-dominant style, Taittinger holds 288 hectares of vineyards across prime Grand and Premier Cru sites. Their philosophy combines tradition with modernity, as reflected in meticulous vineyard management and innovative winemaking techniques. The house’s cellars, situated in ancient chalk tunnels in Reims, are key to the long, slow ageing that defines the elegance and finesse of their wines.
Awards & Critic Scores
The 2016 vintage is widely acclaimed, receiving 97 points from Decanter and 94 points from James Suckling and Champagne specialist critic, The Finest Bubble. Reviews praise its elegance, depth, and perfect balance. On Vivino, the score sits around 4.3/5 from a broad base of users, underscoring its appeal to both connoisseurs and enthusiasts.

If a bottle is broken on delivery we will also replace or refund it but we do require photographic evidence of the breakage. Equally we can arrange for the bottles to be collected the next time you receive a delivery from us.
