Taittinger Brut La Française Champagne
Brut Champagne | 750 mL | Champagne, France | Non-Vintage
Process & Profile
Taittinger Brut La Française is the house’s signature non-vintage Champagne, known for a bright, elegant style driven by a higher proportion of Chardonnay than many classic Brut blends. It’s created from grapes sourced across numerous crus and multiple harvests, then aged on the lees for extended time to build fine texture and a refined, brioche-leaning depth.
In the glass, this Champagne stays crisp and vibrant—fresh orchard fruit and citrus up front—then opens into subtle honeyed notes, soft floral lift, and a clean, polished finish that makes it just as comfortable as an aperitif as it is at the table.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Peach, white flowers, vanilla pod, brioche
- Palate: Fresh fruit and honey with a bright citrus edge
- Finish: Clean, dry, and elegant with fine, persistent bubbles
What Makes It Special
- Higher-Chardonnay house style for added freshness and finesse
- Extended lees aging for a more refined texture and bready depth
- Consistent non-vintage profile that works for gifting, hosting, and celebrations
- Excellent with seafood, light appetizers, and white-meat dishes
- A classic “always right” Brut for customers who want quality without guessing
How to Enjoy
Serve well chilled and pour into flutes or tulip Champagne glasses. It shines as an aperitif, but it’s also a great partner for oysters, shrimp cocktail, sushi, fried appetizers, and soft cheeses. Let it sit a minute in the glass to bring out more brioche and honey notes.

Still hasn’t arrived
This “surprise gift” of nice champagne for my sister and brother in law has been sitting at the FedEx depot in Grove City, Ohio since 3/31 (it’s 4/15 today). Her wedding anniversary has come and gone. Instead of this being a nice surprise for them to celebrate their anniversary, they’re having to track down the package which appears to have hit the Bermuda Triangle (if I’m to believe the hundred of Yelp reviews from people in that area who never receive their packages after they get sent to that particular FedEx depot). I’m not sure if it will ever arrive, but the surprise and joy of it is definitely ruined. It’s not your fault that they can’t figure out how to deliver a package, but I would recommend not using FedEx if you’re shipping anything to Ohio. Overall a bad experience, unfortunately.
