Taittinger remains one of the few Champagne Houses to be owned and actively managed by the family named on the label. Its origins date back to 1734 when the original house was founded by Jacques Fourneaux. The Taittinger link was established in 1931 when Pierre Taittinger, the founder of today’s company acquired the House. Pierre spent time in the Champagne region when serving in the 1st world war as a young cavalry officer. Stationed at the Château de la Marquetterie, he fell in love with this remarkable property and its vineyards and eventually purchased the company. Today, the Reims based House is headed up by Pierre’s grandson, Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and his son, Clovis and daughter Vitalie both of whom are actively involved in the day to day running of this thriving family Champagne House.

Taittinger Domaine Evremond Classic Cuvee NV – Edition I
12% abv
“The NV Brut Classic Cuvée Edition I is the inaugural release of Champagne Taittinger’s English sparkling wine project founded in 2014, made from vines planted in 2017 in the chalk and flint soils of Kent. It is based on the 2020 vintage with around 25% of reserve wines dating to the tiny first vintage of 2018 and the first proper vintage in 2019, all fermented and aged in stainless steel only, undergoing full malolactic conversion. The wine is a blend (…) reflecting the current plantings at the 69-hectare estate. A citric, bright lemon and green apple freshness defines the lively nose of the wine. More air allows lemony Viennoiserie to peep through, as well as an ozone breeze. Fine, creamy bubbles immediately distinguish the slender palate, where more lemon freshness is bedded in the smoothness of that exemplary mousse. An impressive and elegant debut, svelte and clean-cut, especially considering the Pinot Noir dominance of the wine. Châpeau.”

Domaine Evremond Classic Cuvée NV, Edition 1 is a milestone release—the first English sparkling wine from Champagne Taittinger.
Founded in 2015, this estate was developed from the ground up, making it the only UK project entirely conceived and created by a Champagne house. Nestled in the chalk-rich slopes of Chilham, Kent, the vineyard spans 21 hectares, planted with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier under the guidance of Taittinger’s expert team. This debut release, a refined blend of 55% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, and 10% Pinot Meunier, has been aged for over three years on lees, delivering elegance, complexity, and finesse.
