1 Taittinger Brut Réserve NV £49.80 Perhaps the lightest and most elegant of the Grand Marque Champagnes, it’s intensely fragrant character, subtle biscuity complexity and superb elegance is due to a predominance of Chardonnay in the blend. 2 Taittinger Prestige Brut Rosé NV £68.00 Made mainly using black grapes, about 13% of which is vinified red to give the wine colour, with around 33% of Chardonnay in the blend to achieve an elegance in keeping with Taittinger’s style. A beautiful, delicate salmon-pink colour with flavours redolent of ripe, red-berry, summer-fruits. 3 Taittinger Nocturne Sec NV £75.00 A relatively new wine from Taittinger, a blend of 40% Chardonnay with the balance made up of the red Pinot grapes. What makes this different from the Brut is that it has a ‘dosage’ of 20g/l (grammes per litre) of sugar added prior to having the cork inserted, this compares to around 11g/l for their Brut wine. The effect is to make the wine seem richer without it being as sweet as a demi-sec which would have about 35g/l of sugar added to the final wine. 4 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 2004/05 £155.00 Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes from the Cote des Blancs Grand Cru villages. This is the ultimate expression of Taittinger, for those who appreciate the sublime elegance and lightness of this style of Champagne this is the ultimate goal. 5 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Brut Rosé 2005 £288.00 A rare and wonderful wine that combines the classic elegance of Chardonnay with the fullness and power of Pinot Noir. The grapes are sourced from only Grand Cru vineyards, and 12% of the red wine used in the blend comes from the village of Bouzy. Only made in small quantities in exceptional years and, understandably, highly sought after. 125ml Glass £9.80 / Magnum £98.50 / Jeroboam £260.00 / Methuselah £480.00 125ml Glass £12.80 Hak’s Little Chinese Restaurant
