History
In 1734, Jacques Fourneaux established a wine-business in Champagne and worked closely with the Benedictine Abbeys which, at that time, owned the finest vineyards in the region.
The Taittingers were a family of wine merchants who, in 1870, moved to the Paris region from the Lorraine in order to retain their French citizenship after the Franco-Prussian War and the Treaty of Frankfurt.
In 1932, Pierre Taittinger bought the Château de la Marquetterie from the wine house of Forest-Fourneaux.
Champagne Taittinger was sold in July 2005 by the Taittinger family, along with its subsidiary, Société du Louvre, to the U.S. private investment firm Starwood Capital Group.
Having bought back of family business in the summer of 2006, Claude Taittinger retired in the same time and his nephew Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger replaced him as head of the business.

Vasarely 1983 Brut vintage 1978
The 1978 harvest was one of the smallest in the history of champagne since the prewor period. The harvest was preceded by a particularly fine, sunny late summer, resulting in red grapes affording a high alcohol content and a top-quality harvest.
Taittinger Collection Brut 1978 is a blend of 40% Chardonnay from the best vineyards of the Côte des Blancs and 60% Pinot Noir harvested from those of the Montagne de Reims.
It has a beautiful golden robe, the bubbles are rich and delicate. This magnificent cuvée reveals round, flexible, open and mature. Chardonnays have here given the length of the aromatic with according raw floral, fruity dominant. As for Pinot Noir, they are rich, full-bodied and the generous note of red fruit with nuances. All keeps a beautiful freshness taosty.
In the mouth, it has a lovely fruity note, accompanied by a frank and lively attack. The grapes of the 1978 vintage have made a perfect balance between sugar and acidity.
