"A dry, fresh and delicious Taittinger with aromas and flavors of apples, fresh lemons and minerals. Full-bodied. Precise. White pepper and salt at the end. 40% chardonnay and 35% pinot noir, the rest pinot meunier. Three to four years on the lees. Drink now." —James Suckling

"The latest release of Taittinger’s NV Brut La Française exhibits aromas of citrus oil, apple, pastry and nuts. Medium to full-bodied with a fleshy fruit core, it’s perfectly balanced with a pinpoint mousse and a refreshing, penetrating finish." —Wine Advocate
