Champagne Taittinger
As the Champagne for the independently minded, Taittinger is the perfect partner to the British Independent Film Awards. It remains one of the few Champagne house to be owned and actively run by the family named on the label. As President of the House, Vitalie Taittinger, says: ‘every label on a bottle of our Champagne is like a signature from my family – a promise of quality and commitment'. She and the family are fiercely passionate about their independence and are avid supporters of the arts and culture.
Taittinger's Champagnes are matured in their own 4th Century UNESCO status cellars. The hallmark of these wines is the high percentage of Chardonnay used, which ultimately gives them delicacy and finesse that makes them the perfect celebratory toast.
We celebrate the British Independent Film Awards with Taittinger Nocturne Sec NV; with its slightest touch of sweetness, this elegant, soft Champagne is perfect to enjoy late into the evening… the Champagne for after dark.
