We had a wonderful experience at Champagne Lallement Massonnot. Faustine was very welcoming, friendly, and passionate. The discovery of the vineyard and the explanation of the winemakers’ work gave us a real understanding of what goes into every bottle of Champagne. The tasting was excellent, and we highly recommend this authentic family Champagne House!
This experience left me wanting more. The location is beautiful, with views of a large valley. At the start of the tour, we walked across the street from the main building to talk about the grapes and process for about 20 minutes, but just stayed in that one location. We then went into the building and the tasting was all of us just standing at the reception desk. We were finished in under an hour, but we invited to walk in the vineyards on our own. The highlight was the tour lead, who was very friendly and knowledgeable. If you just want to taste the wine, this may satisfy you. But I wouldn't consider it an "experience".
Dear Lisa, Our Guide Faustine and I hope you are doing well. You booked the "Vineyard and Triple Tasting First Cru in the Mountains of Reims" visit with VIATOR. It includes 2 PARTS: VINEYARDS (approx 30 min)+ TRIPLE TASTING (approx 30 min) and lasts 1 Hour in Total. Yes, we went in our Chardonnay plot as you mentionned with a very beautiful view on the vineyards (at least 50 acres), Champagne fields and Reims Cathedral as it was described on VIATOR (see : "What to expect" description) We do agree that we don't provide a walk in the vines. Our purpose and added value is more about sharing our knowledge about our Champagne Terroir and Viticulture skills. We stayed indeed in front of that premier cru plot to show you our Terroir and type of grapes with different charts. The Tourist Office of Reims and Epernay can guide you to have dozens of beautiful walk in the vines if it was more your need. We could have advised on this as well, but this need was not expressed with our team. During the triple Champagne tasting you had: one of our best seller, our special cuvée Blanc de Noirs (100% Meunier) and our Millésime 2020. The second part of the visit was not "just standing" in our tasting room. Above serving the champagne glasses, our tour leader (now 2 years experience) is providing you wine education and sommelier gestures. The reception desk you described is our champagne bar. It was built by the same craftsman than Maison PERRIER JOUET with a white board so you can distinguish the different shades of our Champagnes during the triple tasting. FYI: Because Summer 2026 in France broke records on heatwaves, this Saturday 11th July, the weather forecast predicted temperature at 38° C (100,.4 F) and around 11 AM it was already 29°C (86 F). We may spoke only 20 min vines (instead of 30) but we extended the tasting at 40 min for your comfort and safety, as we where serving alcohol. We are very sorry of your disappointment as you came from so far by plane so see the champagne region and also took a uber to see our estate. Regards, Marie LALLEMENT
We arrived spontaneously, following a recommendation from friends, and were able to book a small tasting on-site without an appointment with 3 glasses per person. The employee was very friendly and dedicated and vividly told us interesting aspects about the production of the champagne varieties, all of which we found very delicious. We thought that everything was organized perfectly and illustrated clearly with visual material. We enjoyed it and learned something. Clear recommendation. Thank you very much.
Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre nette Bewertung! Es freut mich sehr, dass Ihnen die Verkostung und die Führung gefallen haben. Es war mir eine große Freude, Sie spontan bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen und unsere Leidenschaft für Champagne mit Ihnen zu teilen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder in der Champagne willkommen zu heißen!

Merci beaucoup Daphné pour votre magnifique retour ! Je suis très heureuse que vous ayez passé un agréable moment parmi nous. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à notre domaine familial ! Faustine, Guide.
Despite us being late we still got a shortened explanation and the full tasting experience. Definitely recommend!

Merci Celine pour votre beau retour. Ce fut un réel plaisir de vous accueillir et de vous faire découvrir notre Maison. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau en Champagne ! Faustine, Guide.
A very interesting experience standing amongst the vines to learn more about the making of Champagne! Dog friendly so our little dog was allowed, the champagne was very good and we purchased a case at a very reasonable price.
It was a pleasure to welcome you and your dog to our family estate. We are delighted that you enjoyed the vineyard experience, the tasting, and discovering our approach as a small Champagne grower. We are glad our Champagne bottles also brings you joy. We hope every bottle brings back happy memories of your time in Champagne Kind regards
Great experience. The host explained the entire process and gave us a tour of the vineyards. The 3 champagnes we tasted were amazing. It was a small group of 6 of us totally in the tour so it felt very private. Would recommend.
We are glad you enjoyed the tasting with our 1er Cru Champagnes and your experience at our family estate. Wish you all the best
Very, very good. Good information and clearly explained. Felt very welcome and fantastic champagnes!
Thank you very much for visiting a family champagne house! We're glad you loved our Champagnes. Cheers !
