Châlons: Visit to a Gallo-Roman cellar (UNESCO) + 3 tastings｜France

This wine tourism tour will take you to the heart of the Maison de Champagne Louis Balincourt in Châlons-en-Champagne. Our multilingual and experienced live guide will introduce you to the fascinating history of the Crayères de Châlons, whose formation dates back to the Cretaceous period (the age of the dinosaurs). The quarry's exploitation by humans dates back nearly 2,000 years. You will discover its history up to the beginning of the 19th century, when champagne found an incomparable setting there for its long aging process.

As you tour our production and storage site, we will also show you the Champagne making process using historical production tools.

The experience will end with a tasting of 3 Balincourt cuvées (Cuvée Brut Séduction, 1er Cru, and Blanc de Blancs).

At the end of the tour, you can browse the "Les Talentueux de la Champagne" shop, which offers around fifty small gems from Champagne, to continue the experience after the tour!

The Crayères Balincourt represent an exceptional heritage that is part of the Coteaux, Maisons et Caves de Champagne, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
