Both at home and abroad, Taittinger is one of the greatest names in Champagne. Two thirds of its production are exported to more than 100 countries where its Champagne is distributed.

Regularly served at French State functions, Taittinger features on the wine-lists of the most prestigious restaurants in France and all over the world, and is sold in specialist luxury stores around the globe.

The origins of Champagne Taittinger date back to the original house founded in 1734 by Jacques Fourneaux. However its links to the Taittinger family started in 1931 when it was purchased by the founder of today's company; Pierre Taittinger.

The Taittinger headquarters are in Reims where the Taittinger champagne is stored and matured in miles of tunnels and cellars in a 4th century monastery - perfect for the slow but necessary ageing process involved in making this great Champagne.

The hallmark of the Taittinger blend is the high percentage of Chardonnay. This can be anything from 40% in the Brut Reserve NV to 100% in the prestigious Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs. The Chardonnay gives Taittinger wines with a unique elegance, delicacy and finesse.

In the UK Taittinger has many elite associations including Aston Martin Racing and the Aston Martin Owner's Club, BAFTA - the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, Conde Nast Johansens and Highclere Thoroughbred Racing but to name a few.

In Scotland Taittinger is acknowledged by Connoisseurs Scotland / Luxury Scotland as the finest of champagnes and the perfect complement to a fine dining experience.
