Taittinger is a French wine family famed for their champagne and is one of the few Champagne Houses to remain owned and actively managed by the family named on the label. The original house was founded in 1734 by Jacques Fourneaux but the Taittinger link was established in 1931 when Pierre Taittinger, the founder of today's company, acquired the House. The hallmark of the Taittinger Champagnes is the high percentage of Chardonnay used in their winemaking which can be anything from 40% in the Brut Réserve Non-Vintage to 100% in the prestigious Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs. This Chardonnay dominance provides for a style of elegance, delicacy and finesse which is recognized worldwide and has earned the House many accolades and awards over the years.
