Taittinger

Notably different from its neighbor Piper-Heidseick, Taittinger takes a more traditional approach to the champagne-house visitor experience. I had a fantastic personal tour since it wasn't very busy at the time I arrived. My guide was very personable and informative, and the chalk caves where the champagne is stored were interesting, if a little chilly (definitely bring a light jacket, even in summer). I was especially impressed with the history involved in the caves-- some were dug out by Romans in the 1st century. The information presented about the process of creating champagne is equally as interesting for the average curious visitor and the wine-savvy. The tour cost 7€ and lasted approximately 1 hour, with a tasting at the end. For more information, visit the website at www.taittinger.fr.
