Note: This wine is also known as Taittinger Brut Reserve in some markets.

A crisp, fresh Champagne revealing yeasty bread dough notes along with loads of fruit and a light to medium-bodied style. - Robert Parker, Hedonist's Gazette

The close-knit Taittinger family has managed the Champagne House for nearly a century. Led by Pierre Emmanuel Taittinger for 40 years, his son, Clovis, and daughter, Vitalie. The Taittinger non-vintage Brut La Française is racy and fresh, perfect for kicking off a meal. Flavors of orchard fruit with nuances of citrus oil and parmesan rind round out the refreshing and alluring palate. - Vinepair

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

Well-cut and firm, with a smoky underpinning and a chalky texture, this shows an open-knit mix of black raspberry, slivered almond, lemon peel and star anise. Enjoy with food. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator

The latest rendition of the NV Brut La Française is showing well, evoking aromas of confit citrus, herbs, spring blossoms and pastry. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and fleshy, it's perfectly balanced, with bright acids and a mouthwatering, delicate finish.-Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate, tasted 10/24
