Taittinger remains one of the few Champagne Houses to be owned and actively managed by the family named on the label.
The quality of this signature wine rests upon Taittinger’s skill to select the region’s finest grapes, using mostly their own vineyards which gives greater control and consistent quality. It is the introduction to the Taittinger house style, light, elegant and beautifully balanced.
Vinification
The Demi-Sec cuvée reflects the style and values of the Taittinger House. This seductive and complex champagne, is a delight to discover or rediscover.
The Demi-Sec is made with 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier. The grapes are sourced from 40 different vineyards and multiple harvests, and are matured to perfection. The wine is cellar-aged for over five years before being disgorged. With a dosage of 33g/litre of sugar, this differentiates it from the Brut Réserve, providing it with a specific sweetness to favour its pairing with desserts.
Tasting Notes
The colour of the wine is pale golden yellow. The bubbles are fine and the mousse
is abundant and persistent. The nose is suggestive of delicate hints of honey and
ripe fruit, with overtones of greengages and elderflowers. The first impression on
the palate is lively, acidulated and soft, with citrus (mandarin) predominant, backed
by peaches in syrup and dried figs. It has an end which is extraordinarily soft and
notably full and long-lasting. All in all, a rounded, sweet and mellow wine of great
charm and sensuality
