PATRIMOINE CRAYERES - Visite Marquis de Balincourt

This wine tour will take you to the heart of the Louis Balincourt Champagne House in Châlons-en-Champagne. Our multilingual and experienced guide will introduce you to the fascinating history of the Châlons Crayères (Chalk Quarries), which were formed in the Cretaceous period (the time of the dinosaurs). The exploitation of the quarry by man dates back nearly 2000 years, and you will discover its history up to the beginning of the 19th century when champagne found an incomparable setting there to carry out its long aging.

While visiting our production and storage site, we will also introduce you to the Champagne production process around historical production tools.

The experience will end with a tasting of 2 Champagne Balincourt Cuvée (Brut Séduction + Brut Premier Cru or Rosé Brut).

At the end of the visit, you can browse the "Champagne's Got Talent" boutique, which brings together around fifty gems from Champagne to continue the experience after the visit!
