Philosophy
"I like to participate in the work of life by freeing and restoring the sense of the terroir" Eric Taillet-Régnier
The relationship between the soil and its cuvée, the main axis of my philosophy today.
Attempt to transmit energy from the ground to a consumer through bubbles. My passion for soils leads to fundamentally changing the cultivation methods of the vine (pruning system, row spacing, height of the vines, soil cultivation method, etc.)
"Meunier" the king of the Belval Valley ...
My life, my passion, my reason for being a winegrower.
Emblematic grape variety of the Taillet estate, only in very old vines on living clay soils and limestone, flint, marl and clay subsoils.
"For me, Meunier is fruit, finesse, length in the mouth and an extraordinary aromatic palette."
Vineyard management
Viti-forestry and Biodiversity
Mowing our natural grass cover and mechanical tilling between rows
Planting “green manure” to protect the soil and biodiversity year-round
Planting heirloom grape varieties to promote grape variety diversity
Meunier is the Valley’s signature grape variety and the one best suited to the microclimate (it is frost-resistant and thrives in clay soil).
Our history
Nestled in the heart of the Marne Valley, the Taillet house marketed its first bottles in 1961.
Today managed by Eric TAILLET, the 4th generation, it asserts itself more than ever in its philosophy of working the vines while respecting the environment and in harmony with nature.
From now on, for Eric Taillet, creator of emotions in Champagne, a single priority: exceptional harvests for an exceptional champagne.
A perfectionist, who wishes to preserve in each of his champagnes, a typicity and a style that is recognized at the first sip.
