Taittinger Folies de la Marquetterie is a distinguished champagne that reflects the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the Taittinger house. This unique cuvée is made exclusively from grapes grown in the vineyards surrounding the historic 18th-century Château de la Marquetterie, the birthplace of Taittinger’s champagne legacy.
The name "Folies" carries a dual meaning in French, referring both to the steep slopes of the land and to the "folly" or passionate ambition of cultivating vines in such challenging terrain. The blend consists of 55% Pinot Noir, which brings structure and richness, and 45% Chardonnay, contributing elegance and finesse.
Following careful vinification, the wine is aged in old oak barrels, adding complexity and subtle toasted notes. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of ripe peach and apricot jam, enhanced by hints of toasted brioche and vanilla. The palate is full-bodied and fruit-forward, with flavors of golden peach and a delicate wood-accented finish.
Rich, harmonious, and refined, Taittinger Folies de la Marquetterie is a beautifully complex champagne, perfectly suited for pairing with roasted meats or fish in sauce.
