Roman crayères under the city. One of the houses that still feels like a cellar.
- Ask for
- Comtes de Champagne if they're pouring it; otherwise Brut Réserve
- The visit
- Book the tour. The caves are the visit.
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.
