Chardonnay
The grower people fly for. Almost impossible to visit. Drink it in Reims if the door is shut.
- Ask for
- Substance, or whatever they will sell you
- The visit
- Don't plan the trip on a yes.
How this place works
Grandes marques in Reims and Épernay want a ticket. Growers in the villages want an appointment and a little French. Two caves and a long lunch is a day.
Best window: April–June and September. August is quiet at the houses. Harvest is not a tour season.
