2 - 4 May 2009
This tour will take you to four very different champagne firms who are all very much worth visiting. At the grower Madame Hatte in Verzy we will see a genuine "garagiste" Champagne. Taittinger our afternoon appointment, have lovely cellars which were carved out of the chalk by the Romans. We will taste a couple of their fine and elegant Champagnes.
On the last day we visit Canard-Duchene in Ludes here, along with our wine tasting, we will see a facinating demonstration of sabrage (opening a bottle of Champagne with a sabre).
After this we have a tasting lunch at Andre Jacquart, which as ever, will involve tasting a large number of cuvees, and be great fun!
