The estate

The story of the Champagne Taittinger House began at the start of the 20th century. Led by Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and his two children, Clovis and Vitalie, the Taittinger House has maintained a family spirit by producing champagnes resolutely oriented towards a chardonnay style. Since January 1, 2020, Vitalie Taittinger has been President of the Champagne Taittinger House.

The vineyard

The vineyard extends over 288 hectares of vines and includes 37 different Champagne crus. Taittinger is thus the third largest vineyard in the region. The entire vineyard is certified with High Environmental Value.
