Champagne Taittinger

Reims The origins of Champagne Taittinger date back to the original house founded in 1734 by Jacques Fourneaux. However, its links to the Taittinger family started in 1931 when it was purchased by the founder of today's company; Pierre Taittinger. Because it is a family business, and is one of the few remaining champagne houses run by people who bear its name, top quality and respect for tradition are constant priorities at Taittinger. Taittinger owns a total of 642 acres of vineyards, situated in some of the best regions of champagne, which allows its blends to achieve such consistency, complexity and high quality. The Taittinger headquarters are in Reims, situated above magnificent 4th Century Roman cellars which at one time belonged to the Benedictine monks of the abbey of St Nicaise. Its miles of tunnels and cellars are perfect for the slow but necessary ageing process involved in making this great Champagne. The hallmark of the Taittinger blend is the high content of Chardonnay, which give the wines an ultimate elegance, delicacy and finesse. This can be anything from 40% in the Brut Reserve NV to 100% in the prestigious Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs.
