Champagne
Synonymous with celebration, Champagne is an effervescent region with royal connections and a recognizable winemaking specialty.
If you have ever wondered about the story behind the bubbles, you need to visit the Champagne region. Here, you will discover the medieval city of Reims, where centuries of French kings were crowned, and the Avenue de Champagne in Epernay, often referred to as the most expensive street in the world.
While the world above the surface is steeped in splendor, it’s the chalk cellars below that house Champagne’s most tempting secrets.
Wines requiring immense expertise to produce are housed here, along with the traditional methods of the region’s most skilled winemakers.
Bacchus and Clio will introduce you to not only the large champagne houses, but the small producers and artisanal individuals who make the wine of the region what it is today. You will taste rare wines that have distinctive charm and gain a deeper understanding of what goes into every single bottle.
