Taittinger

The history of the present-day estate began in 1932, when Pierre Taittinger acquired the estate and Château de la Marquetterie. Taittinger now farms 288 hectares across 37 vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, Marne Valley, Montagne de Reims and Aube; these estate-owned vineyards cover almost half of the grape requirements. Since 2005, the vineyards have been gradually converted to sustainable farming, with soil cultivation, controlled cover cropping and no herbicides or insecticides. The wines mature for a long time in the cellars, with Comtes de Champagne ageing for more than ten years.
