Family business Taittinger

Jacques Fourneaux founded the Champagne house in 1734, making it one of the oldest Champagne trading houses. In 1932, Pierre Taittinger took over the house, and it adopted the Taittinger name. Gradually, he gained a reputation among the major Champagne houses through his innovative approach and focus on high-quality wines. After many milestones, Taittinger sold the Champagne house to an investment company, but it soon became clear that the values ​​and quality of the champagne could not be guaranteed. Therefore, the family decided to buy it back in 2006. Now, with a young and enthusiastic team, led by highly experienced individuals, they work hard to introduce champagne enthusiasts to quality and family values. The Champagne house has 289 hectares of vineyards in the best locations in and around Reims. These produce approximately half of the annual wine demand.
