Morning light from Paris thins as the car eases onto the rolling slopes of Champagne, a ribbon of vineyards that seems to breathe toward Reims. By the time you arrive at the Taittinger estate the landscape has a quiet, chalky clarity — the same limestone that shelters its underground cellars and steadies every bottle.
