Located in the great wine growing regions of Champagne, the Champagne Taittinger vines encompass 34 different vineyards. With varietals consisting of 50% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier and 35% Chardonnay, the Taittinger Vineyard is an unsurpassed example of that House’s own style of wine, in which Chardonnay plays such a prominent role. In proportion to its size, Taittinger is, amongst the great Champagne Houses, one of the growers with the largest supply from the Cotes de Blancs, the preferred place of origin of the Chardonnay Grand Crus.

Enter this place at Rheims where the history of France met the history of champagne. Take a walk in the Marquetterie gardens where books were written, from where Joffre directed a number of famous battles and where Taittinger devised an astonishing wine. Dare to venture into the depths of the Saint Nicaise cellars. Visit the halls in which royal coronations took place, where kings and queens, presidents and ambassadors met to celebrate the richness of life.
