Champagne is a 100% French product. The Champagne wine region where it is produced is located about 130 km east of Paris. And this is the only place in the world where it is produced. The Champagne region is one of the most prestigious not only in France but also in the whole world. According to the laws on appellations, sparkling wine can be called "Champagne" only if it is produced in this region, where the combination of climate, soil and centuries of experience create the quintessence of the world's favorite sparkling wine.
When in Champagne, it is impossible not to admire these fascinating landscapes created by its inhabitants over hundreds of years. Dr. Raphael Schirmer, a geographer, said that grape growing is an entire civilization. So when you admire the landscapes of Champagne, take the time to appreciate the scale of this work. Incidentally, UNESCO has recognized the hills, houses and cellars of Champagne as a World Heritage Site.
Things to do in Champagne. Moët & Chandon
1.Discover the natural treasures of the terroirs. Walk along the lesser-known paths of this amazing landscape and discover the wonders that make it unique. For example, Moët & Chandon preserves biodiversity and the precious ecosystems of the vineyards and soils to ensure a better future. During a walk through the vineyards, the company ambassador will explain what the company does to protect this fragile pearl of nature.
2.Embark on a guided tour of the Moët & Chandon house. The journey begins in the private salon, where signature hospitality is demonstrated by a warm welcome from the house ambassador. The private tour continues with a trip to the vineyards, where the richness and diversity of nature is revealed.
3. Fort Chabrol. Open the gates of the Moët & Chandon private estate. After a short drive through Epernay, the gates of this historic establishment appear. Fort Chabrol, a place of work and research, allows exclusive visits in exceptional cases. Unlike any other domain, surrounded by vineyards, Fort Chabrol is located on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by forest. In this setting, you will learn more about the commitment to sustainable development within the Natura Nostra program for the preservation of biodiversity.
4. In the cellar treasures. Continue this 360-degree immersion with a visit to the legendary cellars of Epernay, the largest in the region (at a depth of 10 to 30 meters, a 28-kilometre labyrinth of underground tunnels). Walk through the subtly lit cellars, where the natural chalk beneath the soil provides optimal conditions for the maturation of champagne - an intimate and fascinating labyrinth where time seems to stand still. Learn how champagne is made - a secret process passed down over the years from one cellar master to the next. More than three centuries of heritage, passion and craftsmanship lie beneath your feet as you walk the cobblestones of Avenue Champagne.
