Taittinger Champagne Foiles De La Marquetterie

Price range: $129.96 through $144.95

That same combinations of work and pleasure, reason and madness can be found in the Folies de la Marquetterie cuvee, a premier champagne from the Taittinger estate. Not only is it just made from juice from the first pressing, but it also has a subtle dominant flavour of Pinot Noir, which adds structure and richness to the wine. This is combined with Chardonnay for a touch of lightness. The blend then spends a period of time maturing in old oak barrels, which are reminiscent of the wood panelling found in the Château…
It is the perfect champagne to accompany fine cuisine.

Description

Claude Taittinger wanted to pay tribute to the ‘Château de la Marquetterie’, where the story of the Champagne House started. He came up with a wine that was created from the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines growing on the hillsides around the house. It was to be a champagne that evoked a feeling of homeliness; a subtle blend of autumnal colours, like those found in the different woods used in ‘marquetterie’


THE ‘FOLIE’ OF REASON

In yet another definition, a ‘folie’ can also be an 18th century term for a summer residence in the country which was understated yet elegant and with a comfortable and sophisticated interior. The aristocracy and the bourgeoisie liked to hold literary salons, and sometimes ‘fêtes galantes’ (courtship parties) here at La Marquetterie.
