Champagne Taittinger can trace its origins back to 1734 when it was founded by Jacques Fourneaux, but the Taittinger family did not become involved until the company was purchased by Pierre Taittinger in 1931. Today, the company is run by Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and his son, Clovis (export director) and daughter Vitalie (artistic director), both of whom are actively involved in the business.
The company headquarters are in Reims, located above magnificent 4th Century Roman cellars which at one time belonged to the Benedictine monks of the abbey of St Nicaise – there are miles of tunnels cut into the chalk which are perfect for the slow but necessary ageing process involved in making this great Champagne.
The Champagne Taittinger house style is dominated by the high proportion of Chardonnay in its wines, which proffers elegance, delicacy and finesse. Champagne Taittinger Brut Reserve is made from grapes sourced from throughout the Champagne wine-growing region; however, around 50% of the grapes come from the Taittinger Estate. It is a carefully balanced blend of wines from more than 40 different crus.
Impressive Presentation for Grand Celebrations: The Nebuchadnezzar, a 15-litre bottle which is equivalent to 20 standard bottles of Champagne, makes a bold statement at large events like weddings, anniversaries or large dinners.. Its sheer size, serving approximately 120 glasses, makes a great talking point and centrepiece. This large format Champagne bottle is an extremely rare and exclusive bottling.
