Discover more about Champagne Taittinger | Visites des caves de champagne Reims

Champagne Taittinger, located in Reims, is more than just a champagne house; it's a journey through centuries of sparkling wine heritage. Founded in 1734, the house's story intertwines with the Taittinger family in 1932 when Pierre Taittinger acquired it. Today, it remains one of the few family-owned and managed Champagne houses, with Pierre's great-grandchildren, Vitalie and Clovis, at the helm. The hallmark of Taittinger champagnes is the high percentage of Chardonnay used in their winemaking, lending a style of elegance, delicacy, and finesse. This is evident in their flagship Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs, made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. The house also produces a range of other champagnes, including the Brut Réserve, Prestige Rosé, and Folies de la Marquetterie, each with its unique character. A visit to Taittinger includes a tour of its historic cellars, which are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These cellars, dating back to the 4th century, were once part of the Saint-Nicaise abbey and provide the perfect environment for the slow aging process required for great Champagne. Visitors can learn about the champagne-making process, from grape to bottle, and enjoy tastings of Taittinger's signature styles.
