The collaboration was quickly very successful under the name Champagne Forest et Forneaux.\u003cbr\u003eIt was during this period that the headquarters were moved from the \"Hôtel le Vergeur\" ​​to the \"Residence de Counts de Champagne\". A building which the Taittinger family still owns and which gives its name to the house's top cuvée Champagne \"Comtes de Champagne\".\u003cbr\u003eIn 1932, Pierre Taittinger bought the Champagne house Forest et Fourneaux and their haunt \"Residencen de Comtes de Champagne\". Since there were no natural heirs to the Fornaux or Foreste family, Pierre chose in 1936 to rename the house to Taittinger, which is what it has been called ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComments from a tasting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe latest release of Taittinger's NV Brut Prélude Grands Crus is showing nicely, offering up aromas of pear, crisp stone fruit, warm biscuits and marzipan.
