One of the oldest and largest Champagne estates today, Taittinger, traces its roots to a local soldier, Pierre Taittinger, whose deep love for his region sparked a multi-generational legacy, shaping one of the most renowned Champagne houses. Founded in 1932, the house developed at Château de la Marquetterie, a landmark that reflects its deep connection to the region’s heritage. Later in time, the House’s production was renamed after the family’s name, and chose to highlight Chardonnay to create light, refined, and elegant Champagnes. The Taittinger brand was born.
The House today boasts one of the most remarkable heritages in Champagne: the Saint-Nicaise cellars at the heart of the UNESCO-listed Gallo-Roman chalk quarries, the Demeure des Comtes de Champagne, and the Château itself.
