List of products by brand CHAMPAGNE TAITTINGER
Champagne Taittinger stands among the great signatures of the appellation: 288 hectares of estate vines, extraordinary Gallo-Roman chalk cellars, and a family independence restored in 2006 that now guides every viticultural and commercial decision the House makes.
A House rooted in the history of Reims
Founded in 1734 as Forest-Fourneaux, Taittinger is one of Champagne's oldest Houses. Pierre Taittinger acquired it in 1932, establishing a family name synonymous with a precise, Chardonnay-driven style. Based in Reims, the House draws on vineyards across three celebrated zones: the Montagne de Reims, the Côte des Blancs, and the Vallée de la Marne. Controlling 288 hectares of its own fruit is a significant advantage in maintaining stylistic consistency across the range.
Terroir: chalk, cellars, and three great growing zones
The soils throughout the Taittinger holdings are classic craie champenoise — deep chalk that drains freely and imparts the mineral tension distinguishing the finest Champagnes. Beneath Reims, the celebrated Gallo-Roman crayères provide ideal ageing conditions: a constant 10°C, high humidity, and complete darkness. All three Champagne varieties — Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier — are cultivated across the estate, though Chardonnay holds a privileged position, contributing the freshness, finesse, and longevity for which the House is known.
HVE certification and responsible viticulture
Taittinger holds HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) certification — France's most rigorous state-recognised environmental standard. This reflects a genuine commitment to reducing chemical inputs, preserving biodiversity, and managing water resources across a large estate. Since Vitalie Taittinger assumed the presidency, this environmental direction has been pursued with growing ambition.
The Taittinger range
- Brut Réserve (NV) — the signature non-vintage blend, Chardonnay-led, with characteristic freshness and a fine, persistent mousse.
- Prélude Grands Crus (NV) — a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages, offering greater depth.
- Nocturne Sec — a rounder demi-sec style, suited to dessert pairings or as an aperitif for those who prefer less austerity.
- Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs — the prestige cuvée, 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay, aged a minimum of ten years in the Gallo-Roman cellars. A benchmark blanc de blancs.
- Comtes de Champagne Rosé — a prestige rosé of considerable complexity, combining Chardonnay with Pinot Noir vinified as a still red wine.
Why we have selected Champagne Taittinger
At Halles Quercamps, reputation alone is not enough. What drew us to Taittinger is a combination of factors genuinely rare at this scale: the consistency of style across every cuvée, from Brut Réserve to Comtes de Champagne; the integrity of the supply chain, with 288 hectares of estate fruit; and the restored family independence since 2006, freeing the House from short-term corporate pressures. We recommend Taittinger to enthusiasts building a cellar and to those seeking a prestige gift. The Comtes de Champagne pairs beautifully with lobster or scallops; the Brut Réserve is an elegant choice for any celebratory occasion.
