Producer profile – Taittinger

Taittinger is one of my favorite houses. Wonderful champagnes, fantastic history and a beautiful family! The house of Forneaux, as Taittinger’s predecessor was called, was among the first Champagne houses when founded in 1734.

★★★★

The company’s financial upturn came when the Taittinger family bought it in 1936. Pierre Taittinger purchased a palace called La Marquetterie and built up an impressive arsenal of vineyards. Claude Taittinger, took over in 1960 and Pierre-Emanuel and his son Clovis Taittinger and stylish doughter Vitalie are following the same quality path.
