After an enriching drive and a brief, contemplative stop in front of the majestic Reims Cathedral under beautiful spring sunshine, we are welcomed at 10 a.m. at the entrance to the prestigious Maison Taittinger<\/b> by Martine, our guide for this morning tour.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The experience begins with a documentary screening that traces the House\u2019s history, its family heritage, and the values that have shaped its international reputation. Through carefully curated images, the House highlights its core values, the passing down of its expertise, and the historical roots that have earned it international renown\u2014all embodied by Vitalie Taittinger, who has served as President since 2020.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next, we head to the House\u2019s famous cellars, located in the heart of the historic Saint-Nicaise site, which has been completely reinvented after 18 months of renovation. \u201cThey (the cellars, ed.) contain the remains of the abbey that Benedictine monks built in the 13th century to venerate, at the site of his burial, the relics of the man who was the 11th Bishop of Reims,\u201d <\/i>Martine explains.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The abbey\u2019s vaults and cellars\u2014former chalk cellars dating back to the Gallo-Roman era\u2014have remained intact. Our descent into these chalk cellars thus turns out to be a journey outside of time, a quest for a hidden and jealously guarded treasure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Descending into these underground galleries carved into the chalk plunges us into a world of thousands of bottles, sheltered from light and temperature fluctuations. Today, part of Taittinger Champagne<\/strong>\u2019s production is stored here, including the legendary Cuv\u00e9e des Comtes de Champagne.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For about an hour, Martine reveals the secrets of champagne production and those of this exceptional historic site, designated a UNESCO<\/b> World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The highlight of this experience is, of course, the tasting\u2014a true moment of shared enjoyment. Thanks to a selection of culinary pairings specially crafted by the chef of the Polychrome restaurant, we\u2019ll discover the House\u2019s two iconic cuv\u00e9es: the Prestige Ros\u00e9 and the Brut Mill\u00e9sim\u00e9. In the glasses, the pale gold hue comes alive with bubbles of absolute finesse. From the very first sip, the liveliness and freshness of the subtle brioche and floral notes instantly awaken our senses. It\u2019s a delicate lacework of liquid foam, a moment suspended in time and filled with warmth, where the aromatic complexity is savored in harmony with the dishes carefully selected by the chef\u2014as well as with laughter, conversation, and knowing glances. Our taste buds are in a frenzy at the genius of the Champagne blend.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is with a serene spirit, a light heart, and a wealth of precious memories that this morning comes to a close in the concept store, as we take in the memories of our visit to Maison Taittinger<\/b>.
