Taittinger

“As a family champagne house, we make different decisions: we invest with our heart, we are concerned with the long-term, a heritage built by previous generations so as to transmit it to future generations.”

Pierre-Emmanuel, Clovis & Vitalie Taittinger

In 1932,Pierre Taittinger bought the Domaine and the Châteaudela Marquetterie,formerly Maison Forest-Fourneaux. As early as 1734, the aforementioned Maison had been working with the Benedictine abbeys, which had the most beautiful vineyards in Champagne. With the arrival of Pierre Taittinger, a new chapter began, as he restored the House to its former glory. In 2007, Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger took over as head of the House, with excellence ashismainambition:

“Having our family name written on a bottle brings with its responsibility and a demand for constant high standards. Our signature encompasses the know-how of the past and a commitment to tomorrow.”

Today, it is Vitalie Taittinger, his daughter, who drives this vision. She has been President of the House since January 2020.

SUPREME CRAFTSMANSHIP

Over the years the Taittinger vineyard has grown steadily, today spanning 288 hectares. The vineyard is planted with 37% Chardonnay, 48% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier, distributed among 37 different crus, which are some of the bests under the Champagne appellation. Today it is the second largest estate in Champagne and one of the most certified, with accreditation for High Environmental Value and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne.
