Masterclass & Lunch
Montagne de Reims National Park

During a private full day tour and on request we will reserve a wonderful short tasting Masterclass in English followed by a high quality home made light lunch in the heart of the Montagne de Reims.

You may choose from salmon tartare or a plate of mixed cheese and meat and your meal will be served with an additional 2 different champagnes in two different glasses to compare the effect of the shape of the glass on the taste. Coffee is served at the end of the meal.

We have created 2 tasting formulas to choose from:
Still Wines: White Coteaux Champenois / Red Coteaux Champenois, and Soléra) or
100% Chardonnay: 3 different types of aged single grape champagnes.

The Still Wine option is particular interesting to those who have selected an artisan tasting tour in order to explore the lesser known wines of champagne.  The Chardonnay Option is a good choice for those who have selected the Classic Tour visiting only Prestige Houses, so they can have the chance to experience a comparative tasting or for those who will visit the Montagne de Reims and Marne Valley but not have time to visit the Cote de Blancs.

Cost: 55€pp

Masterclass in the Centre of Reims

If you are staying overnight or have reserved a half day private tour then this private Masterclass in the centre of Reims will give you a further opportunity to compare the difference between Brut and Rose, non Vintage and Vintage and Non Grand and Grand Cru.

The Champagne House uses Chardonnay from the exceptional terroir in the Grand Cru village of Avize, Pinot Noir from Ambonnay and Bouzy, and Pinot Meunier mainly from the Marne Valley where the vinification and bottling takes place.
