Color and Bubbles: Elegant light golden color. Refined, persistent mousse that carries the freshness and structure in the glass.

Aroma: Layers of dried apricot, roasted hazelnut, and brioche, lifted by citrus zest and white flowers. You’ll also find ripe apple and a touch of salted caramel—rich and lush, yet always fresh.

Palate: Complex and structured, with a refined mousse and vibrant acidity. Flavors echo the nose—ripe apple and salted caramel—with a gentle hint of mature tones, finishing mineral-driven and saline-fresh. Long, precise, and elegant.
Food Pairing

This is a versatile Champagne that beautifully complements a wide range of dishes. Exceptional as an aperitif, it pairs elegantly with refined seafood such as lobster, crab, and other shellfish. It also harmonizes perfectly with richer fish like salmon or tuna, as well as pork and mild, creamy cheeses—its subtle fruitiness and structure enhancing each bite. Ask ChatGPT

ERIC TAILLET

A singular priority: exceptional harvests for exceptional Champagne

​Champagne Éric Taillet is a family-owned Champagne house located in Baslieux-sous-Châtillon, in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne, France. The Taillet family's winemaking heritage dates back to 1900, with the official establishment of their Champagne production in 1961 by Daniel Taillet. Currently, the estate is managed by the fourth-generation winemaker, Éric Taillet, who took over in 1995. He now works alongside his children, Dylan and Léna, representing the fifth generation. ​

The estate spans approximately 6 hectares, divided into 37 parcels, with an average vine age of 37 years; some plantings date back to 1949. Notably, about 80% of their vineyards are dedicated to Pinot Meunier, a grape variety Éric Taillet passionately champions, referring to it as "the most beautiful grape in Champagne." ​

Éric Taillet emphasizes environmentally respectful viticulture practices, aiming to harmonize with nature. The vineyards have been cultivated without herbicides or fertilizers for many years, focusing on maintaining living soils and promoting deep root systems to truly express the terroir.
