A new twist on an old theme

On arrival in Reims crews made their way to Champagne Taittinger. A ‘Run partner for the last thirteen editions, once again they did the event proud. The only family owned Grand Marque house in Champagne, once again, allowed an exclusive and very special private visit. A reception ensued with Brut and Brut Rosé until the crews were ready to make their way to dinner.

Only the finest grapes are used to make Champagne Taittinger and with it’s Chardonnay bias, within the three permitted main grapes, it is rich and sophisticated.

The Demeurre des Comtes in Reims, is owned by Champagne Taittinger and is a very special venue. Formerly used to prepare the King’s of France for crowning in Reims Cathdral, it oozes history. Over dinner crews enjoyed a selection of Champagnes in a relaxed atmosphere before returning into the bright lights of Reims for the latter part of the evening; some navigators even indulging in a little mixology!
