Épernay and the Treasures of Champagne: An Unforgettable Tour
Discovery of the most famous areas around Épernay, the heart of the Champagne vineyard: the Côte des Blancs, known as the kingdom of Chardonnay Grand Cru, and the Marne Valley, renowned for its historic hillsides producing Pinot Noir, the birthplace of Champagne.
Visit two families of independent producers/growers, with an explanation of the Champagne production process, and an inspection of the presses, wineries, and aging cellars.
Tasting of six different Champagnes Grand Cru/Premier Cru, including natural Champagnes (without dosage), extra brut, old vines, vintages, aged in oak barrels, etc. In addition to the Champagnes, tasting of the three essential Champagne spirits and aperitifs: Ratafia, Fine de la Marne, and Marc de Champagne from the Goyard Distillery, the oldest in Champagne.
Our discovery tour through the vineyards and villages of the Côte des Blancs passes in front of the Château de Saran, a prestigious property of the LVMH group (owner of Dom Pérignon, Veuve Clicquot, etc.)and the production site of Champagne Moët & Chandon.
A commented passage is also planned
on the renowned Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, where the splendid mansions and production buildings of the Champagne Houses Moët & Chandon, Perrier Jouët, Pol Roger, etc., are located. During the visit to Hautvillers, the village known as the "Cradle of Champagne," you will enjoy a private tour of the Church where the tomb of Dom Pérignon, considered the spiritual father of Champagne, is situated. In Hautvillers, we will also stop to admire the most magnificent panoramic view of Champagne, overlooking the Marne Valley, on the hillsides classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Dom Pérignon conducted his experiments.
