Suggestion: Explore Reims

Capital of the Champagne region, Reims is a listed Town of Art and History. It offers the culture of a big city with the charm of a smaller town. Stroll along its handsome boulevards lined with striking Art-Déco facades and prepare to be bowled over by its architectural features. There are nine champagne houses to visit in Reims (some of whose cellars have Gallo-Roman origins) plus five Michelin-starred restaurants.

See the monumental Notre Dame cathedral, recognized internationally as a model of Gothic architecture. It played a central role in France’s history for 800 years as the venue for the coronations of 25 sovereigns.

Smell champagne cellars. The sweet, musty aroma of wood and stone deep underground combined with the sour tang of barrel-aged alcohol…it’s one of the Champagne region’s most unmistakable and trademark smells. All the city’s champagne houses offer guided tours; the oldest is Ruinart, founded in 1729. Taste pink biscuits. Les biscuits roses de Reims are light, crunchy, vanilla-flavored biscuits dating from the 17th century, typically dipped into a glass of champagne.

Suggestion: Explore Epernay

Epernay is well known as the capital of the Champagne-producing region of France: it is a wealthy-looking town because of the expensive 19th-century townhouses and other mansions constructed with the wealth derived from the champagne trade. The town sits below the vine-covered hills typical of the region. It is the perfect location to discover various well-known champagne producers.

Start your tour of the grand champagne houses on Avenue de Champagne. Some of these have the most remarkable and extensive caves below the buildings. Along this avenue stand many of the most impressive Champagne houses and chateaux in Epernay. Moët-et-Chandon and Mercier are the most renowned champagne houses. They will introduce you to the champagne experience (called a dégustation in French). But there are also many smaller producers open to visits in the town. The garden at the Chateau Moët-et-Chandon will be the highlight of your day.

Epernay is best known as a mecca for those with an interest in champagne. But the town and the surrounding region also contain places of interest. Because of its geographical location near the French border, Epernay has been attacked and almost destroyed numerous times during its long history. As a result, there is little remaining here from the medieval period: most architecture in the town dates from the 19th and 20th centuries. The Portail Saint Martin is the oldest monument in Epernay. It is an impressive stone doorway and all that remains of the 16th century Church of Notre Dame.

Private Guided Tour of a Historical Champagne Winery

In 1927 Charlotte’s ancestors bought the Domain of Boursault, formerly owned by Madame (Veuve) Clicquot. In 1843, 10 kilometers west of Epernay, she built a magnificent neo-renaissance-style castle. The mansion quickly became one of the most popular places in the region. Memorable dinners took place at the court of the “Queen of Reims.” Champagne flowed lavishly among the members of the local high society.

Many generations have passed. Charlotte still runs a part of the domain: seven plots in the exclusive familial clos, overlooking the Marne Valley. Press, cellars, and the winery are located in the clos too, only a few hundred meters away. It guarantees superior fruit freshness when it comes to being pressed and transformed.

During this tour, you will discover the Champagne production process, from the vine to the flute. Visit the modern press, the vat room, and the aging cellars underneath the 16th-century family manor. Stroll in the heart of the vineyard and learn more about traditional growing, harvesting, and wine-making methods. After the tour, you will be able to taste three Champagnes on the Terrasse des Abbayes, offering a panoramic view of the Marne Valley and the Château de Boursault. Enjoy wine and food pairing with local cheeses.
