The Taittinger family has owned the House for about a century. Its goal has always been the pursuit of excellence. In 1915, Pierre Taittinger settled at the Château de La Marquetterie, located in the heart of the Champagne vineyards. The estate covers 288 hectares located between the “Côte des Blancs,” the “Vallée de La Marne,” and the “Montagne de Reims.” Over three generations, many people have left their mark on the history, spirit, and style of Taittinger and, beyond that, on the image of Champagne itself.

Comtes de Champagne Rosé 2009 is made from 100% Grand Cru grapes, with 70% Pinot Noir (of which 12% is added as still red wine) from the Montagne de Reims and 30% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs.
