About Éric Taillet
Champagne Éric Taillet is a family récoltant-manipulant estate in Baslieux-sous-Châtillon, in the western Vallée de la Marne. The house was founded in 1956 by Daniel Taillet and released its first bottles in 1961; Éric, the fourth generation, took over in 1995 and now works alongside his children Dylan and Léna. Roughly 6 hectares are planted mostly to Meunier, with some Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and rare varieties such as Pinot Gris, Petit Meslier and Arbane. Recognised as a Meunier specialist, the estate treats the grape as the centre of its work rather than a blending supporting role, with a minimal-intervention approach and HVE and VDC sustainability certifications.
Who Is This For?
For those who want to discover Meunier as a serious, terroir-driven Champagne grape rather than a blending partner
