Delta Air Lines announced yesterday that it will begin serving Taittinger Brut la Française Champagne in its Delta One® (international Business Class) cabin this spring. This new partnership is one of several that Delta is planning to continue to up the game in its most premium offering.
Taittinger Brut la Française is described as “a delicately balanced Champagne known for its consistent, superb quality. It has a subtle, pale gold color with fine, persistent bubbles; it is delicate, with aromas of peach, white flowers, vanilla pod and brioche on the nose and flavors of fresh fruit and honey on the palate.” I have had this Champagne before and enjoy it. The retail price on this Champagne is between $40 and $60, so this is a nice in-flight selection.
Delta has positioned itself as a premium airline and partnerships like this one as well as its recent Missoni deal for amenity kits and decor in the Delta One® Lounges helps to solidify that image. It has some work to do with seating consistency in its Delta One® cabins, but the soft product and lounges are second to none.
Kristen Manion Taylor, SVP of Inflight Service at Delta, said:
Not all Champagne is created equal. Taittinger is Champagne for those who know – it represents a quiet, sophisticated elegance that will ‘wow’ our Delta One customers. A family-owned Champagne house, Taittinger’s reputation for excellence mirrors our own, and we’re thrilled to partner with them as we elevate your travel experience.
At Delta, we are never satisfied with the status-quo. Our teams are consistently pushing, testing and elevating our offerings with the goal of providing a best-in-class onboard experience. We are always working to surpass our own high standards. Similarly, Taittinger is known for having the highest-quality production, exceeding minimum aging requirements and embodying sustainable practices in addition to creating excellent Champagne.”
This will be served both pre-meal and during the flight. Delta provided some suggested pairings above.
Anthony’s Take: This is a welcome change and one that helps Delta to continue to push its premium airline messaging. I look forward to having a glass or two on a future flight.
