Taittinger Champagne France In that early part of the 18th century, 4 Benedictine abbeys in Reims owned the best vineyards in the Champagne region. The monks cultivated the vines and pressed the harvest to produce the first sparkling wines which they either sold themselves.
The popularity of Champagne wine owes much to the Court of Louis XIV. The taste for the wines went to the wines of the abbeys which were not sparkling at that time, yet elegant and subtle.
In the middle of the 20th century, Pierre-Charles Taittinger, who was involved in the distribution and export of champagne was charmed by the magnificent Château de la Marquetterie on the slopes of the finest Champagne hillsides and its vineyards planted partly with white "Chardonnay" grapes and red "Pinot” Pierre Taittinger decided that Chardonnay would play the essential role for this brand of lightness, finesse and elegance In 1945, the Champagne House moved in the cellars of the Saint-Nicaise monastery, built in the 13th century
Today Claude Taittinger oversees the quality of the great Champagne House.
The traditional House of Champagne produces thanks human ingenuity a range of wines blends delicate or powerful, seductive and full of character. Here, the assemblage gives its uniqueness to each vintage of Champagne Taittinger. The Taittinger style traces, vintage after vintage, a complex structure made up of aroma and sensations. The Taittinger Champagnes differ from one another and widen sensory perspectives of silky body and smooth heart.
