The Top 50 best champagnes list, in the Revue du Vin de France, is a list which recognises only the premium Champagne houses in the world. And when you consider that Taittinger champagne were given the accolade of 24^th on this much revered and extensive list, you begin to get an impression of how loved and reputed the House has become over the course of its long and distinguished history.

With 270 hectares of prize vineyard to their name, it's also instantly clear that Taittinger are not a Champagne company who have been born solely to seek riches.
