About this experience
This wine tour will take you to the heart of the Louis Balincourt Champagne House in Châlons-en-Champagne. Our bilingual 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.
