The House
—
The Taisne Riocour Champagne is first of all a tribute to our parents Angelito de Taisne and Claude de Riocour who revived the family vineyard established in 1837. It is the expression of a certain French art de vivre, character and elegance.
The Chateau of Ricey Bas and its park are also a source of inspiration. This is where Amicie, Charles, Pierre, Jacques and Marie-Hélène grew up and is today owned by Charles and his family.
The Chateau itself is an expression of centuries of fine craftsmanship, and the talent of todays landscapers and gardeners.
Certain family figures and places also inspire us in the elaboration of our vintages: The 35 grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Angelito and Claude de Taisne, here Théophile (1), Angelo de Taisne and his younger brother (2) at Les Riceys, the recklessness of Jacques Balsan (3), the refinement of his wife Consuelo Vanderbilt (4), the peony (5), both robust and delicate. But also, the festive spirit of Etienne de Beaumont (6) and Edith de Taisne, his wife during the Roaring Twenties, Solange de Riocour (7) and her friend Lilly Bollinger, the generosity and panache of Etienne Balsan (8), here with Coco Chanel, the vineyard and terroir of Riceys (9).

The Tree with three crescents and the star form the coat of arms of the Taisne and Riocour families. Our wines are marked by the alliance of Sky and Earth, by elegance, audacity and liveliness. Each sip rejoices the heart and raises the spirit.
Pierre de Taisne, Amicie de Guigné, Marie-Hélène de Touzalin, Jacques de Taisne et Charles de Taisne
