Taittinger
Champagne Taittinger
A Champagne cellar built beneath the ruins of the Saint-Nicaise Abbey, where a 13th-century underground chapel connects to Roman chalk pits.
The Taittinger cellars lie beneath the ruins of the 13th-century Saint-Nicaise Abbey. Eighteen meters underground, the abbey's vaults and Gallo-Roman chalk quarries have been preserved, and millions of bottles of Champagne age here. The roughly one-hour tour explains wines such as the Blanc de Blancs “Comtes de Champagne” and includes a tasting. Admission starts at about €30 and requires advance booking on the official website. It is about 300 meters north of the Saint-Remi Basilica and can be visited on the same day as Veuve Clicquot and Pommery.
