The Champagnes
—
The Taisne Riocour Champagnes exemplify a perfect balance of the four pillars that define them: power, freshness, elegance and complexity.
We rely upon the unique expression of the terroir de Riceys harnessed in the grapes, combined with the dedication, precision and hardwork of the teams - both in the vineyards and the winery to champion this balance and produce beautiful Champagnes.



Grande Réserve
Our Grande Réserve is a blend of Pinot Noir de Riceys and Chardonnay - each offering different dimensions to the wine. The Pinot Noir gives power and elegance to the wine, whilst the Chardonnay adds boldness and freshness. Aromas of ripe white fruits and dried berries are present alongside more complex notes of butter and brioche on the palate.
