Great insights into the craft of Chamganer production by the winemaker herself. Very warmly made tasting with good champagne and food combinations. Highly recommended.
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend. The tour took you through every step of the champagne making process - from taking in the breath taking views at the vines to the end cellar with plenty of sips in between! The hosts, Sophie and Sebastian were so friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate in their work. One of the best wine/champagne tours I've been on and as a bonus, the champagnes included were absolutely delicious!
The champagne tour was fantastic and very interesting. Sophie talks passionately about champagne and knows how to make you very enthusiastic! We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide! Furthermore, the champagnes (including snacks) were very tasty. Definitely recommended!
It was a perfect tour and tasting! Sophie told her story with a lot of enthusiasm and joy. We visited the vineyards the sellers and saw all the steps of the production process. The tasting at the end of the tour was a perfect end. I would recommend everybody to go here.
