Champagne Taittinger - Reims

What is the single most interesting fact about Champagne Taittinger?

What makes the International Wine Challenge Sparkling Winemaker of the Year 2006 tick? Is it that Taittinger is one of the few Champagne producers to remain owned and actively run by the named family?

Is it that their origin dates back to 1734?

Is it their reputation for being one of the most innovative wineries in Champagne? How about their house style, which gave rise to their status as the Chardonnay Champagne?

Could it be their Collection range of Vintage Champagnes, designed by some of the world’s most famous artists?

Or is it actually their fantastic new hot air balloon?

It’s all of these, and more. There really is too much to say about Taittinger. The independently minded person’s preferred tipple. Did you know that Taittinger was actually Ian Fleming’s favoured Champagne in the early James Bond novel Casino Royale?

It’s in the book. Did you also know that they have released numerous new cuvées recently?

These include Prelude Grands Crus NV, Nocturne Sec NV and Les Folies de la Marquetterie?

Oh there’s so much to know. So much to enjoy! Over 273 year’s worth of facts in fact. And that’s before we even get on to the gold medals or the long-running BAFTA association, The Old Vic And all their other artistic endeavours and associations - or the hot air balloon! Did we mention the hot air balloon? How cool is that?
