Taittinger's history dates back as far as 1734 and was first named Forest-Fourneaux when it was owned by a wealthy textile merchant named Jacques Fourneaux. It was in 1932 when it was acquired by Pierre Taittinger that the Champagne house was renamed to the familiar name we all know today. By the 1950s, Taittinger became one of the Grandes Marques among the other famous Champagne brands such as Bollinger, Moët & Chandon, and Louis Roederer.
 
While the Champagne house's leading label is its non-vintage Brut Reserve, a blend that contains 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, and 25% Pinot Meunier, they also produce a Comtes de Champagne prestige cuvée in great vintages which uses 100% Chardonnay (aka Blanc de Blancs). The grapes that are used to produce this cuvée come exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards and the juice that is used comes exclusively from their first pressing - resulting in the creation of the complex and elegant Champagne that we love and which is capable of aging for decades. It remains one of the best prestige cuvees in the market, always being awarded top scores from critics and never lacking compliments from professionals and Champagne geeks all over the world, yet it still remains at amazingly attractive prices!
