- Other products of Domaine Carneros by Taittinger In the late 1970s had Claude Taittinger, who believed firmly in the future of American wine, looking for a suitable piece of land, just to build a U.S. winery. In the California North Coast, more specifically, in the Carneros appellation in the southern tip of Napa and Sonoma County, he finally finds the perfect terroir. The special soil formation and the generally slightly cooler climate offer just the champagne grapes Chardonnay and Pinot Noir ideal growing conditions. And thus the best conditions for the preparation of exquisite sparkling! Taittinger founded in 1987 with the Domaine Carneros Cobrand Corporation. Two years later, also in the chateau-style 18th century, this vineyard made ready with his own winery and a large visitors center. Architecturally, the building is the Château de la Marquetterie, modeled south of Epernay (also owned by the Taittinger family). 2003 will add an ultra-modern facility that is solely the preparation of Pinot Noir wines reserved. In the founding in 1987 Claude Taittinger had personally experienced as Winemaker Eileen Crane committed and vineyard manager. Since then, direct and supervise all activities of the Domaine Carneros Crane. In 1987, she oversees the planning and development of the vineyard with all vines and plants. In 2003, she controls the construction of the second, exclusively for Pinot Noir winery building decorated in the style of an old coach house, which incidentally is now the winery with the world's largest photovoltaic plant. The sustainable farming methods from the start in the vineyards are among Crane for instructions step by step fully converted to organic viticulture methods. Since December 2007, the Domaine Carneros has the first American sparkling wine production, the organic certification of CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers). With their dedicated work of Eileen Crane has contributed significantly to the reputation of exquisite Carneros sparkling and still wine qualities.
