Taittinger

History of Maison Taittinger

Maison Taittinger was founded in 1734 by Jacques Fourneaux in Épernay, France. However, it wasn't until 1932, when Pierre Taittinger acquired the house, that it took on the Taittinger name. Pierre preserved the heritage while bringing his own vision, making the house a benchmark in the world of champagne.

Uniqueness of Taittinger champagnes

Taittinger champagnes are distinguished by their elegance, finesse and fruitiness. The house favors the Chardonnay grape variety, which accounts for a significant proportion of its blends. This predominance of chardonnay gives their cuvées freshness, floral aromas and exceptional delicacy. In addition to whites, Taittinger also offers cuvées made from pinot noir and pinot meunier.

Emblematic cuvées
