ABOUT THIS WINE
Taittinger Folies de la Marquetterie is a Non-Vintage Champagne produced by the Taittinger house. It is the first 'Champagne de Domaine' from the producer, drawing grapes exclusively from the 'Les Folies' vineyard located around the historic Château de la Marquetterie. This single-vineyard bottling aims to capture the essence of its specific terroir and pays homage to the Taittinger family's heritage. The name 'Folies' refers to the vineyard, and the wine's concept is influenced by marquetry work and autumnal hues.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Taittinger Folies de la Marquetterie is produced from grapes sourced exclusively from the 'Les Folies' vineyard. The winemaking process involves vinifying each plot separately, with some batches undergoing fermentation partially in oak casks and large foudres. Only the juice from the first pressing is used. The wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of five years. A 'green' harvest is conducted prior to picking to ensure fruit maturity.
