A 45 minutos de “la ciudad del amor”, París, encontramos la capital mundial del champagne, Reims, y aquí es donde nace, en los albores del 1734, la que se convertiría en la tercera Maison de la Champagne: Taittinger.
In 1734, Jacques Fourneaux, a trader who sold wines from Champagne, founded the wine company that would become Taittinger. At first, he sold still wines, but his business only really started to bubble when he began selling sparkling wines. The Fourneaux and Forest families joined forces at the turn of the 19th century, ushering in an era of growth at Champagne House that involved moving from their original premises at the Hôtel Le Vergeur to Demeure des Comtes de Champagne on Rue de Tambour.
At that time, they already separated each wine and each vintage: “Vins de Sillery,”
