Taittinger Prélude Grands Crus Brut is a Champagne crafted to mark the beginning of a truly special experience. As its name suggests, “Prélude” is the opening movement to a world of elegance, finesse, and balance—qualities that only a house with Taittinger’s heritage and expertise can deliver.
Taittinger is one of the few remaining family-owned Champagne houses, with roots dating back to 1734. Its modern chapter began in 1932, when Pierre-Charles Taittinger acquired the historic Château de la Marquetterie, a property steeped in monastic history. Renowned for its Chardonnay-led style, the house produces refined and expressive Champagnes, including the iconic Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs. With over 288 hectares of vineyards and ancient cellars beneath Reims, Taittinger continues to age its wines under ideal conditions. Today, Vitalie Taittinger, daughter of Pierre-Emmanuel, leads the house, upholding its tradition of innovation and excellence—delivering timeless finesse in every bottle.
The story of Prélude Grands Crus Brut begins in the finest Grand Cru vineyards of Champagne. Chardonnay is sourced from the Côte des Blancs, known for its mineral purity, while Pinot Noir comes from the Montagne de Reims, contributing structure and depth. Only the first pressing is used, ensuring freshness and elegance. After secondary fermentation in bottle, the wine is aged sur latte for at least five years, developing remarkable complexity and a luxurious texture.
Prélude Grands Crus Brut is a promise—an introduction to something truly unique. The first chapter in a story worth savouring sip by sip.
