Technical Sheet |
Having worked alongside her father at Taittinger for more than 20 years Virginie Taittinger bought her own Champagne House (and everything in it) in Sillery in 2019. She feels incredibly blessed to now work with her son, Ferdinand Pougatch Taittinger who, after graduating from McGill University in Canada, spent 3 years working in the wine and spirit world in New York and is now home, working with his gorgeous Mother.
We visited them in April 2023 to see the set up and taste the wines and it was an instant coup de foudre – these are spectacular Champagnes, beautifully made close to Reims and completely different to our existing Champagnes from Chauvet and Legras, complementing them perfectly. They buy most of their grapes through a couple of long-term contracts and their aim is to produce only brilliant Champagne, making less if they don’t like the vintage or more when they do. They have a ‘réserve perpetuelle’ to ensure that their Brut retains a family likeness, but their other wines are all stand-alone cuvées, aimed at reflecting their vintage year and style.

Their Macaron label started as a joint venture with a pâtissier, Ladurée, to find something which matched rather than tried to counteract the sweetness of his macarons. The Extra Dry has the same grape mix as their Brut but with 12 grammes of dosage, on the border between Brut and Extra Dry, this has delicious leafy stone fruit on the palate and doesn’t feel sweet at all, leaving the palate refreshed and with a hint of brioche. Wow!
