Your Ultimate Autumn Luncheon Menu with Taittinger

When we think about Champagne, popping, fizzing and clinking to a milestone moment is top of mind. But if we’ve learned anything from the past year we should be celebrating every day. Champagne should be a staple for every commemorative occasion and future endeavor. To some, Champagne is a warm-weather drink and an aperitif before the main event. However, it’s so much more than a foretaste on a hot summer’s night. Fall, in particular, is a wonderful time to pop some bubbly and celebrate a new season with new beginnings. And speaking of new beginnings, have you ever tried a Champagne pairing with an entire meal? It may just surprise you how well it stands up to all sorts of dishes while elevating your entire eating experience.

Nothing is more suitable for this type of occasion than the Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs from Taittinger. As one of the last remaining family-owned and operated Champagne houses since 1734, Taittinger’s signature style promises to make your next Fall pairing menu, extraordinaire. The brilliance of this Champagne comes from the uniqueness in its handy work. Due to its higher proportion of Chardonnay coupled with the time devoted to aging the wines beyond the legal requirement before release, leaves a glass of elegantly structured champagne exemplifying the Taittinger hallmark. 

The Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs is produced only in exceptional vintage years and represents the ultimate expression of the Taittinger style. Refined bubbles, a burst of vibrancy, puckering grapefruit, a bit of brioche with a slight nuttiness and great complexity, offers a wonderful option to sip on for all of your Fall luncheons. 

And now for the main event, I’ll leave you with the perfect Autumn Luncheon Menu paired with Taittinger’s Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs to be mimicked! Each dish brings out the best of this bubbly. Try it for yourself! Miam!

Bon Appétit!
