Champagne Taittinger remains one of the few Champagne Houses to be owned and actively managed by the family named on the label. Founded in 1734, the house was purchased by Pierre Taittinger in 1931 and today, the Reims based House is headed up by Pierre’s great-grandchildren Vitalie and Clovis. The hallmark of Taittinger is the high percentage of Chardonnay used in their winemaking which can be anything from 40% in the Brut Réserve Non-Vintage to 100% in the prestigious Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs. This Chardonnay dominance provides for a style of elegance, delicacy and finesse which is recognised worldwide.
