The Taillet family has been farming vines in Baslieux-sous-Châtillon in the Vallée de la Marne since the 1950s, and Eric, the fourth generation, took over in 1995.
What makes this domaine genuinely unusual is that Eric has built his entire identity around Pinot Meunier, a grape that most Champagne houses treat as a blending tool rather than a star.
He goes as far as founding the Meunier Institute, whose old-vine cuttings were selected to supply local nurseries. We're talking about someone who has spent decades making the case that Meunier, on old vines and living clay-limestone soils, can produce Champagne of real depth and precision. The ExclusiviT is exactly that argument, bottled.
