Champagne house Taittinger

Pierre Taittinger came from a family of politicians and bankers. In the early '30s, he acquired various vineyards, including the beautiful Chateau Les Folies de la Marquetterie, south of Épernay. The exclusive champagne Les Folies de la Marquetterie is one of the refined champagnes produced with grapes from this vineyard. When he also purchased Forest-Fourneux, Pierre Taittinger suddenly owned an extensive hectare of prestigious vineyards. Forest Fourneux was a small but excellent champagne house founded in Reims in 1734 by Jacques Fourneux.

The Champagnes of the Taittinger Family Business

The Champagne house is still owned by the Taittinger family and has been led by Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger since 2006. In addition to the well-known Brut Réserve, Taittinger offers several special cuvées known for their elegance and freshness. The Prestige Rosé champagne stands out for its subtle and harmonious taste. The Taittinger Prélude Grands Crus has a full and powerful flavor with a long finish. The Taittinger Nocturne Sec is a refreshing champagne with a soft finish, and it also comes in a delightful Rosé champagne variant. The Millésime Brut vintage champagne from 2008 is a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, with a significant proportion of Grand Cru and Premier Cru. It is a fruity, powerful champagne with a fine finish. The packaging design for these champagnes is notably striking and innovative. A special edition of the Taittinger Nocturne Sec champagne has been released with a champagne bottle in a highly exclusive design.
