- In 1995 a vineyard called Merfy in Northern France started to produce a French champagne called "Chartogne Taillet". It has been an award winner in most professional Champagne wine charts since this time, and is still being requested around the world and produced semi-annually.
- Taillet is a naval blacksmiths' term referring to the part of the blacksmith's hammer or anvil used to cut off the hot metal as it being forged. Its main purpose is to "hack iron" off naval ships' anchors. Taille is also still widely used in French, meaning to prune or cut. The word is also sometimes used for the sharp end of objects like swords, knives, scissors, and even bows of ships as a verb (to cut through the water).[1]
