The grapes for the Brut Reserve come from premium vineyards throughout Champagne, with approximately 50% coming from the Taittinger Estate. It is a carefully balanced blend of wines from more than 35 'crus' grown in the renowned chalky soils of Champagne, which impart elegance and freshness to the cuvee. 

Tattinger remains one of the few Champagne Houses owned and actively managed by the family named on the label. Its origins date back to 1734 when the original house was founded by Jacques Fourneaux. The Taittinger Link was established in 1931 when Pierre Taittinger, the founder of today's company, acquired the House. Pierre had spent much time in the Champagne region when serving in WWI as a young cavalry officer. Stationed at the Château de la Marquetterie, he fell in love with this remarkable property and its vineyards and eventually purchased the company. Today, the Reims-based House is headed up by Pierre's grandson, Pierre-Emmanual Taittinger his son, Clovis and daughter, Vitalie, who are actively involved in this thriving family Champagne House. The hallmark of the Taittinger Champagnes is the high percentage of Chardonnay used in their cuvées, which can be anything from 40% in the Brut Réserve NV to 100% in the prestigious Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs. This Chardonnay dominance imbues the House style with elegance, delicacy and finesse.
