Exquisite Champagne — fizzing, bubbling, exciting, and
inspiring. It is the quintessential complement to any memorable
occasion.The growing, blending, bottling, aging, and serving
of Champagne is a labor of love itself, and thus, pairs
naturally with the ultimate celebration of love — weddings!
Champagne Taittinger, one of the very last remaining family-
owned and operated grand marquee Champagne houses in the
world, explores and embraces this celebration of unity with its
tantalizing cuvées.
Something truly magical happens when one first removes the
muselete, uncaging a fresh bottle of Champagne — something
timeless, exhilarating, and romantic. And whatever your
style — vintage glam, classic black-tie, modern art deco —
Champagne is the common denominator that completes the
most memorable day of your life. From fun Champagne Towers,
to gorgeous Champagne-inspired arrangements, to the perfect
Champagne and dessert pairings, this is the ultimate guide to
elevating the wedding experience with Champagne.
With the love and dedication of the Taittinger family,
we cordially invite you to explore Champagne Taittinger’s
The Art Of Celebrating: Bubbles of Love.
Transcend your special day.

Starting with the best of the best, Champagne Taittinger’s tête de cuvée is
Comtes de Champagne, which receives all the lavish care and attention it
needs to reach its peak maturity. Every moment with Comtes de Champagne
creates a new and unforgettable memory. It’s more than just opening a
bottle, it’s an emotional connection. A big, juicy rib eye from your favorite
butcher and a tin of caviar is all you need to offset this Champagne (well,
that and the big question!).The beauty of a Champagne this luxurious are
the intrinsic qualities and complexities of the final blend, that slight touch of
oak, and the textural experience that you can indulge in as it has a chance to
evolve. Every experience is unique.
Notes: Pale yellow color characterized by fine light bubbles that form a
delicate foam ring. Initial bouquet of tangerine develops into mature notes
of ripe fruits, raisin pastries and candied fruit. In the mouth, a smooth and
lively palate with flavors of grapefruit and a long refined finish of spice.
Grape: 100% Chardonnay

apricot. It’s festive and approachable — and when thinking of what to serve

is unique and exhilarating; no one’s glass will be empty! And the gorgeous
bottle will make for beautiful photos.

bubble, lending to the slightly sweet wine’s vibrancy. A bouquet of white
flowers, yellow peaches, and dried apricots leads to a crisp, creamy palate
of raisins and delicately candied fruit, with a long, smooth finish.

Champagne towers can be a simple, yet glamorous addition to your reception.
The glasses are beautifully arranged to allow Champagne to flow down like
a flawless waterfall. Our version takes this classic to a new level, surrounded
by a luxurious base of flowers
Artof the
ChampagneTower
ASSEMBLY
1) On top of the large plastic tray,start with
a firm, level base for your tower. Create
the first layer of your tower by placing 19
champagne glasses in a circle on a table or
tray.This should be approximately 15-inch
in diameter.
2) Place the vines around the hem of the
glasses letting them do their spindly thing
weaving about, creating the illusion of a
wreath. Gently place your flower heads (no
stems) on and around the vines and leaves,
weaving in and out in an ethereal way.
3) Build the levels. The five—tier tower
should be made of successively smaller
layers of circles. For example, the next layer
should be made of 10 glasses, followed by
7, 3, and finished with 1 glass on top.
4) Make sure each glass touches the
surrounding glasses.A diamond shaped gap
will appear between each. When building
layers, center the stem of the glass over
the diamond openings created by the layer
below.
5) Slowly begin pouring the Champagne
from the top glass, allowing it to trickle
down. If the tower is used for decorative
purposes only, assemble and fill with
Champagne before the celebration and
pass trays with fresh Champagne to guests.
