Champagne
The great maisons, the hidden growers, and the chalk beneath everything.
Champagne is the most misunderstood wine region in the world — simultaneously the most celebrated and the least visited with genuine curiosity. We take you past the grand brand facades to meet the grower-producers and cave cellars that form Champagne's truest character.
The Experience
Private tour of the chalk crayères beneath Reims with a maison guide
Seated tasting with a grower-producer in the Vallée de la Marne
Lunch at the table of a celebrated chef in Épernay
Prestige cuvée library tasting at a house that does not advertise it
“The chalk caves beneath Reims are among the most extraordinary places I have ever stood. Millions of bottles ageing in absolute silence, in the dark.”
— Anthony Clemenza
France taught me that the best things in life are worth waiting for. Every vineyard here has a story older than any of us — and they're generous enough to share it.
— Anthony
