About Champagne Taittinger from Reims:

Champagne Taittinger was founded in 1734 in Reims by Pierre Taittinger. Taittinger first visited the Champagne region when he was a First Liaison Officer during World War I.   Due to his passion for gastronomy and wine, several years later he returned to create the Champagne House with his brother-in-law. After a short time under outside ownership, Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger bought back the business in 2006. Since then, it is again a family run business with both Taittinger’s daughter Vitalie and his son Clovis involved in the Champagne House.

The flagship wines of the House are the Comtes de Champagne (composed of 100% Chardonnay) Comtes de Champagne Rosé (70% Pinot noir and 30% Chardonnay).
