Vitalie Taittinger

President of the Taittinger Champagne House

A graduate of the École Emile Cohl in Lyon, she spent four years there, from 1997 to 2001, pursuing a program focused on various artistic practices applied to the fields of illustration and graphic design.

Fresh out of school, she collaborated with Gilles Bernard on a monograph dedicated to the Surrealist painter Alfred Courmes, published by Le Cherche Midi in 2004. The book features a foreword by the philosopher Michel Onfray.

True to the entrepreneurial spirit that has always driven her family, Vitalie Taittinger founded a small company in 2002 and has developed numerous projects in the world of wine and gastronomy.

In 2007, inspired by her father Pierre-Emmanuel’s successful takeover of the Taittinger Champagne House, Vitalie expressed her desire to join the company. She thus began her career in the world of Champagne as a marketing consultant. She quickly became the face of the eponymous brand and represented it around the world. Two years later, she took over as artistic director of the family business and became a full-fledged member of the company.

She has served as president of the FRAC since 2017 and was also president of the Platform association from 2018 to 2022.

After heading the Marketing and Communications Department, Vitalie became President of Champagne Taittinger in January 2020. She divides her time between her demanding career and her blended family of four children.

In 2021, Vitalie was named a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters.

In 2023, she co-founded the Philantropic Arsnova Endowment Fund with her father, Pierre Emmanuel Taittinger, which aims to promote access to music, culinary arts, the arts, and cultural heritage.
