Champagne Taittinger

 Taittinger is one of the most renowned Champagne houses.

The Taittinger Champagne House vineyard covers 288 hectares, part of which is planted with massal selection grapes grown in a sustainable manner. This choice results in wines of unique complexity and personality. The champagnes are made in the purest Champagne tradition, with meticulous vinification and blending, preceded by precise, meticulous work in the estate's Gallo-Roman chalk pits. Champagne Taittinger wines have always included a high proportion of Chardonnay, the house's signature grape variety, delivering a unique character and personality that place it among the elite of today's Champagne.

Pierre Taittinger, the initiator.

Pierre Taittinger's passion for Champagne began when he discovered this wine-growing region as a young liaison officer during the First World War. A few years later, this culinary and wine enthusiast returned to the region to create and develop Maison Taittinger. He worked hard, and his first reward came in the early thirties, when his grape variety of excellence, Chardonnay, was able to transmit this excellence in bottles of Champagne that were the epitome of what we've come to expect from this wine: finesse, lightness, unforgettable grace. Today, his descendants, in particular Vitalie Taittinger, perpetuate his work and his conquests of tables all over the world. Magnificent wines cannot be created without giving nature time to mature and blossom. For Maison Taittinger Champagnes, it's in the heart of Gallo-Roman chalk pits that the transformation into Champagne takes place, in preserved cellars that give the bottles the time and years they need. Between three and five years for the Bruts, but you'll need to have the patience to wait up to ten years for the vintage wines - in short, it's not a science of waiting, but an art. To this must be added the preservation of this vineyard endowed with an extraordinary genetic make-up, which is the requirement of the viticultural experts who work on the estate. While Chardonnay plays an essential role, they do not forget Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier to compose every cuvée.

Comtes de Champagne Blanc de blancs.

If we had to name the jewel in the crown of these collections, which include numerous limited editions, Maison Taittinger stands out for its "Comtes de Champagne Blanc de blancs", one of the finest Champagne wines.
