Taittinger is one of the last great independent Champagne Houses owned and actively managed by the family named on the label. The family are guardians of Taittinger's style, quality and integrity. The hallmark of their fine Champagnes is the high proportion of Chardonnay used in their winemaking, which is key for producing wines of great elegance and finesse. Additionally, with its vineyard ownership of 288ha (third largest in Champagne) Taittinger can guarantee flawless wines heralded worldwide for their consistent quality. Our signature cuvée, Taittinger Brut Réserve, is assembled from more than 35 crus and incorporates 40% Chardonnay - this high proportion is seldom offered in a non-vintage Champagne. Distinguished by a delicate nose marked by subtle brioche notes, it has a palate of considerable depth and balance with hints of honey and fresh fruit.
Established atop Gallo-Roman chalk quarries listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and on a vineyard of 288 hectares, the family-run Maison Taittinger is driven by the pursuit of excellence. Finesse, elegance and precision define the style of its wines. Brut Réserve reveals a wine characterised by the vibrancy of its predominantly Chardonnay blend. While Pinot Noir guarantees structure, its lower proportion of Meunier lends delicate sweetness to this timeless blend. The grapes are selected from more than 35 different terroirs and several harvests.

History
Champagne Taittinger's origins date back to 1734 with the founding of the original House by Jacques Fourneaux. The Taittinger link was established in 1931 when Pierre Taittinger acquired the House. He was stationed at the Château de la Marquetterie when serving in the 1st World War and fell in love with the property and its vineyards and eventually purchased the company. Today, the Reims based House remains owned and actively managed by the family named on the label.
