Private Champagne Tour from Paris, WSET 3 Guide: Sixth-Generation Grower, Moët & Chandon
A private tour in English with a certified WSET level 3 wine expert (on the way to level 4), who stays with the group all day. He explains the wine, the region, the production process, its history and economy, and tells stories about Champagne. The Mercedes van collects you at your accommodation in Paris, and the guide handles the logistics. The day shows two sides of Champagne: a famous house and an independent family winemaker. Both make high-end wine classified Grand Cru, Premier Cru or Cru. The independent grower is a sixth-generation winemaker near Châtillon-sur-Marne, with three cuvées to taste. In Épernay come lunch at a bistronomic restaurant (not included) and the Gallo-Roman cellars of Moët & Chandon, where two cuvées are poured. The day ends at Hautvillers, the cradle of Champagne.

The Gallo-Roman cellars of Moët & Chandon, dug between the 4th and 15th centuries, where vintages, some centuries old, are refined. A Moët & Chandon guide leads the visit, and two cuvées are tasted.
