Wine distributor Mezzanine The Fine Wine Specialist will welcome family-owned champagne house Champagne Taittinger to its portfolio of domestic and international premium wine brands from 5 October.
Mezzanine The Fine Wine Specialist is one of two distributors part of the Joval Wine Group, which is an Australian independent, family-owned company representing brands from around the world, including Cullen, Craggy Range, Nanny Goat Vineyard, Tar & Roses, Yangarra, Burlotto and AIX Rose.
“We are delighted to welcome the Taittinger family and their elegant champagnes into the Mezzanine The Fine Wine Specialist portfolio,” said Mezzanine The Fine Wine Specialist national sales manager Matt Turnull and national brand manager Bree Richmond.
“Like us, the Taittinger family have a focus on people, quality and culture, have ambition to grow their footprint in Australia and strive to create moments of enjoyment and pleasure. We will nurture Champagne Taittinger like it is our own, with love.”
Champagne Taittinger managing director Clovis Taittinger said joining the Mezzanine family is an exciting opportunity for the brand.
“The company’s passionate, long term vision together with their experience will no doubt enable even more Australians to discover the wonderful Taittinger culture built on a rich history, timeless and very elegant wines, a very joyful and sparkling family and team,” said Taittinger.
Champagne Taittinger’s Chardonnay cuvees vary from top class Brut Reserve NV, through to its Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs, which is one of the most highly prized champagnes in the world.
The cuvee, made solely from Chardonnay, harvests grapes from five Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs region.
