Who can say that he never enjoyed a glass of champagne in a festive moment? Probably very few of us. Because in our culture, this particular wine is associated with celebration, celebration and pleasure.
Why visiting the Champagne?
During the Christmas festivities or to celebrate a happy event, champagne has always accompanied some of the best moments of our lives. So would it not be legitimate to visit for once the product that will always be with us as an old friend.
It is true, this small wine region has many things to offer. 35,000 hectares is the area of the Champagne, dedicated to the production of champagne, which is sold worldwide. Also, it is a product that exports perfectly in France. It seduces both the jet set of Miami and the rooftop of Shanghai. In addition it is a vineyard that moves, and which develops its oenotourism. Therefore the Oenotourism in the Champagne is booming. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015, it continues to reinvent itself. Compared to the other French vineries, the people of the Champagne have taken the fashion of organic production serious. Driven by the power of big houses, global production is steadily climbing in quality, taste and health.
Oenotourism in the Champagne – where to go?
Visit AR Lenoble!
Now that we know why we are going, it remains to determine where we go! The Champagne area can be divided into 6 different regions: L’Aisne, L’aube, La côte des Blancs, la Montagne de Reims, the small and big valée de la Marne. We must know that all have their specificities, and that each offers in its wines a particularity of its own. Here are my personal recommendations to discover the Champagne vineyards.
Champagne AR Lenoble: it is one of the last of a kind. Few of the family farms have survived the hegemony of the big houses. But the owners of this farm, who are the great gran-children of the founders, have been able to keep the land of their families. They offer a whole range of high-quality activities, tasting workshops, visits or a unique picnic among the vineyards. Visiting the vineyard opens perspectives on what is a successful family farm.
To change the atmosphere, we can go for a walk next to the vineyard of Albert Beerens. The area of his vineyard has a strong commitment to the environment.
It offers many ways to discover and learn about champagne. In particular, a gastronomic menu presents meat-wine agreements of great finesse in a magical setting, overlooking the vineyard. In addition to the different excursions, this area is worth a stop if only for the warm welcome of the owners.
To sum it up, the Champagne is a place that deserves attention. It is worth to take a detour to see the hills covered with vineyards, and to stop in small villages to discover wines with new aromas. Given the diversity of vineyards, we are sure that everyone will find something that suits him!
