Wine of the celebrations
This word always evokes Cheerfulness, Parties, Pleasure, Joy, Warmth. It has baptized thousands of ships, toasted millions of weddings, was
in the middle of the most beautiful events, and on all the special
occasions. Let me take you to Reims, where I was born and grew up, and you will
never taste Champagne the same way ever. The next time , its
effervescence will spray t
he tip of your nose, its quintessence will
be revealed in each one of its bubbles. And you will find yourselves
in the middle of what really is the soul of Champagne :"The King of
the wines and wine of the Kings". Then, to approach its divine Aura , the Cathedral of Reims will be the
first wonder you ll be visiting. Undeniable "Masterpiece" of Gothic
art, with its 2303 statues and its " Smilling Angel" , it was built up
on the place where the first king of the Francs: Clovis,was baptized
by St Remi in the year 498. It s been the corronation place of 25 kings. of 1223 has 1825. Jeanne
D'Arc took Charles VII for his crowning there. Reims, the Gallo Roman " Durocotorum" with its archaeological
vestiges, its Mars Gate and its Roman forum, whose construction
required to dig chalk pits called " Crayères ", which give its
Chthonian side where light is vanishing into this obscure, fresh and
quiet world , where millions of bottles of Champagne are resting, and
the softness of the " Brut" was created. A hundredth kilometers of
cellar gives life to this under world . We will visit the Taittinger cellars, Its Crayères are among the most
beautiful, with ruins of the basilica St Nicaise s'crypt, and 2000
years of History. You will be initiated to the magic of technics and the magic of
Champagne making, followed by a tasting. We will have lunch at a gastronomical bistrot in an idyllic park. Then we will drive to the mythical" Marne valley "and its vineyard ,
endemic place of the "pinot Meunier". We ,of course, will pay homage to Dom Perignon who rests in peace in
his effervescent eternity at the Hautvillers abbey, where this so
divine beverage was made with the best intention. Then we will go to Ay, a small village, to meet an independent
Champagne maker grower who will share his passion and explain the
alchemy of the terroir in its sparkling wine. If time is on our side, a small passage at Epernay and its "avenue de
Champagne". The most expensive of the World, with its underground
rich with millions of bottles of some of the largest , Champagne houses,
