Enter into this place of Reims where the history of France met the history of champagne.

Dare you venture into the depths of the cellars of Saint Nicaise. Enter the house Taittinger and taste our wines. Stroll in the places where they are developed. Lose yourself in our vineyards. Travel to the Americas where we raise a few wines. Descend into the depths of our caves and experience the art of patience.

(09-2010) The estate's 1973 Comtes de Champagne is noticeably richer and weightier than the 1971, even if some of the aromas and flavors are a touch more advanced. Round and enveloping on the palate, the 1973 flows with superb depth and textural finesse. Hints of caramel and toffee add the final notes of complexity. This is a breathtaking Champagne.
