One of the few grand Champagne houses to remain family-run, and to welcome guests into its cellars, Taittinger proffers a walk through history at its Louis Quinze château in Pierry, close to Epernay, and via its Gallo-Roman cellars in the Champagne capital of Reims. Château de la Marquetterie was built in 1734 and once owned by French author Jacques Cazotte, who hosted the likes of Voltaire and André Chénier come harvest. It was acquired by Pierre Taittinger in the 1930s, whose great-granddaughter Vitalie is now in charge, working alongside her brother Clovis.
