Taittinger How about the brand introduction

The predecessor of Champagne Champagne was Château Forst-Fourno, which was acquired by Pierre Teytingje in the 30s of the last century due to poor management, and the name was changed to Tittinger. Under the management of Pierre Tytinger, Château Tittinger has re-emerged as a large château in the Champagne region – with an annual output of 5 million to 6 million bottles of champagne, it ranks among the top five in the Champagne region in terms of production. At the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana in 1981, Champagne was served to guests from all over the world, and it was also the official champagne partner of two FIFA World Cups.
 
With more than 288 hectares of vineyards, it is the third largest vineyard owner in the Champagne region, after Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot. Despite the large planting area, the grapes are only partially met by the company, and in order to achieve high yields, Tittinger still buys 50% of the grapes from other winegrowers every year.
 
Tytingje is very fond of Chardonnay, and its best-selling champion Brut Réserve Reserve Dry Champagne is made with 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier, 35 selected villages, a high proportion of Chardonnay, and 3-4 years of cellaring, which gives this unvintage champagne an outstanding level of aroma, with rich fresh fruit and honey flavors, and a delicate, balanced and rounded mouthfeel.
 
Comtes de Champagne is the ultimate expression of Chardonnay, and it is also the top cuvée of Champagne, and all the best lists of Blanc de Blanc de Blanc Champagne will not be absent. Born in 1952, Count Taittinger Champagne is only made in the best vintages, using 100% Chardonnay from the six Grand Cru villages of Côte Blanc, the first pressed grape juice, 5% aged in new oak barrels, blended and matured for 10 years in the chalk cellars of Téttinger.
 
Perhaps inspired by Château Mouton Rothschild, Tittinger began the Taittinger Collection in 1983, inviting a number of contemporary artists to provide visual designs for his decanter coats. This collection is not so much champagne as a work of art, with expressions that are not limited to painting but also involve photography, with the most recent release in 2016. The Tittinger Collection produces only high-quality vintage champagnes in the best vintages, and the production is limited, and it is not officially sold through Château Tittinger, which is extremely difficult to buy.
