Prestige wines
A terroir of Grands Crus
Internationally known for its sparkling whites, Champagne is represented by four regions: Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Côte des Blancs and Côte des Bar. The hilly landscape and the limestone subsoil give all the typicity of its chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier wines. Some of these iconic grape varieties are also produced in Burgundy. In both regions you will find fruity, round, soft and elegant wines.

REIMS
Reims was the city of the coronation of the Kings of France for almost eight centuries, from 1223 to 1825. Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral, one of the largest and most beautiful cathedrals in France and the Christian world, symbolizes the heritage of the city in the History of France.
The cellars of Reims extend over more than 120 kilometers of underground galleries and thus enjoy a worldwide reputation. Some of the largest champagne houses are located on the slopes of the Saint-Nicaise hill, pierced with galleries called “crayères”.
