A mother and son duo
Based in Sillery, at the foot of the Montagne de Reims, is Champagne Virginie T. The daughter of Claude Taittinger, of champagne house Taittinger, and the granddaughter of Piper-Heidsieck’s owners, it was only natural that Virginie should one day own her own champagne house. In 1986 Virginie joined her father at Taittinger, where she worked for 20 years. It was here, and working in the Loire Valley and California, that she learnt her craft, before setting up on her own in 2006. Today, Virginie is joined by her son Ferdinand. The focus at Champagne Virginie T. is on Pinot Noir. 85% of grapes come from classified Premiers & Grands Crus sites, and all wines undergo extended bottle age of at least seven years before release.
