Caves Taittinger

Caves Taittinger is an underground champagne cellar in Reims that extends through a network of chalk tunnels beneath the city. The chambers maintain natural cool conditions year-round, creating ideal storage for aging bottles of wine.

The site started as a Roman chalk quarry in the 3rd century before the tunnels were later adapted for wine storage. The Taittinger family acquired and developed them into a champagne house beginning in 1932.

The cellars bear the Taittinger family name, who have shaped this place through generations of champagne production and underground wine storage. Visitors can see how bottles rest in the tunnels and experience the craft tradition embedded in this working wine producer.

The cellars welcome visitors year-round with guided tours through the underground passages and tunnels. Wear sturdy shoes on the walk through, as the chalk surfaces can be slippery and temperatures underground stay cool throughout your visit.

The chalk walls bear carved marks and inscriptions left by people who used these spaces across different centuries. These quiet records carved into stone tell of the many hands that moved through here long before champagne production began.
