Taittinger Brut Reserve Champagne 
Tasting note
The brilliant body is golden yellow in colour. The bubbles are fine, while the foam is discreet yet lingering. The nose, very open and expressive, delivers aromas of fruit and brioche. It also gives off the fragrance of peach, white flowers (hawthorn, acacia) and vanilla pod. The entry onto the palate is lively, fresh and in total harmony. This is a delicate wine with flavours of fresh fruit and honey. Taittinger Brut Réserve, which acquires its maturity during three and four years ageing in the cellar, offers excellent aromatic potential.

Domaine Louis Michel Chablis 
Tasting note
This is outstanding Chablis, that evokes its northern Burgundy origins with a fabulous sense of place. It displays the typical 'stony' character of the region, over which are layered exciting notes of white peach, apricot and chervil, thanks to the care and dedication in the vineyard and cellar of this top producer. Notes of white fruit such as peach, with a mineral structure. In the mouth, a stony sensation complements this pure, rounded wine.
Food Matching: Can be enjoyed on its own but it is also the great partner to grilled fish, white meat and seafood.

Taittinger Green Matters
Taittinger is under the "authorisation préfectorale", a French government local representation, which requires it to follow certain environmental procedures. Examples include: industrial waste classed and weighed in by different type, card, wood, glass, plastic, aluminium and taken to recycling plants. Taittinger is also undertaking a number of steps to respect official environmental regulations on water and waste as well as implementing a plan to reduce their environmental impact concerning energy usage, water and waste.

Water - Consumption is closely monitored. This is measured and goals are fixed to reduce it daily through various programmes.

Packaging - Although difficult for Champagne to reduce weight due to the nature of the product being pressurised, consideration is being given to the whole range of packaging in order to reduce the total weight. The whole appellation is working towards a lighter bottle and 80% of the glass comes from a recycled source, for Taittinger it is 94%. Following lighter weight bottle tests, in 2010 Taittinger have been bottling wines in lighter bottles - 835 grammes -7% reduction. A positive move in reducing their carbon footprint. All waste packaging (cardboard, paper, glass and steel from capsules) is recycled

Vineyards - Taittinger are leading the way as a Champagne grower.  Typically using half the amount of fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides used by other growers.  They wholly own half of their vineyard base producing fruit for their Champagnes giving them control over what is used to treat the soil and vines.  70% of Taittinger vineyards are also planted with grass and this increases year on year, this negates the need for herbicides.  The tradition of using horses in the vineyard is still used to manage vegetation growth between the vines.  A rare and natural sight in today's world.

This luxury French wine pairing of classic Champagne and Chablis is the perfect gift for celebrations, special occasions, VIP’s and corporate gifting.  Presented in ours stylish recyclable gift box finished with ribbon and your personalised message.

Taittinger is a blend of the three Champagne varieties, slightly heavier on the Chardonnay, this is a crisp, citrussy sparkling wine with subtle notes of brioche and white flowers; in the mouth it is fruity, honeyed and moreish. There is no specific drinking occasion for the Brut Reserve. Its elegance and lightness gives it a flexibility to be the champagne for the moment but it is always excellent as an aperitif.

The Chablis is outstanding, evokes its northern Burgundy origins with a fabulous sense of place. It displays the typical ‘stony’ character of the region, over which are layered exciting notes of white peach, apricot and chervil, thanks to the care and dedication in the vineyard and cellar of this top producer.
