Curiosities:

Taittinger is the commitment of a name, of a family that has always been very clear that the fact that its name appears on the labels supposes a great responsibility and a constant demand. Today, Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger, who has embodied this commitment for 40 years, shares his passion for running the house with his children Clovis and Vitalie, in a perfect balance between knowledge of the past and hope for the future. .

However, the Taittinger dynasty goes back a long way. There are already three generations that have left their mark on the history of the firm, on the Taittinger spirit and style, and even on Champagne itself. In 1915, the young Parisian officer Pierre Taittinger was assigned to the Château de la Marquetterie, in the heart of the Champagne vineyards, unaware that one day this place would become the cradle of his family's destiny. By becoming a politician and deputy for Paris, he wanted to establish himself in Champagne, and there he bought the Château in 1932. This is how the Taittinger adventure in Champagne began.
