The Château de la Marquetterie is situated in the heart of the Champagne winegrowing region and owned by Champagne Taittinger. Prior to the French Revolution it was a meeting place for philosophers and authors of the "Age of Enlightenment" and a site for village fairs. The vineyard around the Château de la Marquetterie is known as "Les Folies" and is a sunny south, southwest exposed vineyard, this combined with its soils produce Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes of exceptional quality.

This cuvée is produced exclusively from grapes grown at "Les Folies", picked after the first "green" harvest, giving the wine optimum sweetness and aromatic maturity. Only wines from the first pressing are used, each plot being vinified in small volumes and certain lots in oak casks.
